Happy Birthday Landan!

We kept Landan's birthday pretty lowkey this year because we are planning a party in Sept with his friends.  First we started out with the traditional panCAKES for breakfast.  

 Then he chose Mimi Biscuits for dinner.  For those that don't know, these are biscuits my grandma made when I was a kid.  You eat them with butter mixed with Cane Syrup and dip your biscuit in it.  It's really good and really sugary.

 Then he had an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins.  It has cute little ice cream cones on it.

 Present time!  He got a new church bag (which I made from a tutorial online) to put all his quiet activities in, and some scriptures, and a Nintendo DS with 2 games.  He was pretty excited about that part.

I can't believe my first little baby is 8 yrs old.  He's a big kid now, not a little kid.  He's such a sweetheart. He's so helpful around the house.  He's always looking for things to help with.  He loves taking care of his sisters, still working on getting along with his brother.  He's doing so well in school.  He loves to read which I am so excited about.  And he's good at math and science too.  He LOVES TV and video games and he loves playing imaginary games too.  He makes new friends so easily he's got tons of them at school because he accepts everyone just as they are.  Big or small he'll be friends with anyone.
