turning eight

Banks turned Eight on Tuesday (December 7th).  We have been celebrating all week long!  On Tuesday afternoon, Jody and I took cupcakes for him to share with his class...

The class sang Happy Birthday to him before digging into the cupcakes...

Mrs. Hughes gave him a big hug to celebrate his big day...

That night we let him pick a place to eat...his birthday dinner choice was Longhorn.  Before we left, we measured his height to see how much he had grown in a year...

Almost 3 inches!

Sunday afternoon, a few family members braved the freezing temperatures and the spitting snow to celebrate his big day.  We warmed our insides with some delicious soup and Mexican cornbread.  We ended the celebration with a Judi Moore Alabama inspired cake...

We sang Happy Birthday one more time, made a wish and blew out the candles...

Happy Birthday, Banks! Sorry we couldn't make it to celebrate on Sunday. Nick was out of town and I had a prior commitment on Sunday afternoon at 2:00. Looks like he had a great Bday and y'all had a yummy lunch.
