Okay so these pics were posted totally out of order, but you get the idea this is Dallin's birthday party at home. He was a little disappointed you could tell with the gifts because nothing was really "cool" to an eight year old (clothes and books and scriptures). We knew he would get toys from the friend birthday party so we weren't too worried about him going without and really Christmas was just a month ago how many toys does one kid need?!
Anna being such a good helper!
Dallin loves getting gift cards, he even loves just having one even if it doesn't have any money on it. This one does though, courtesy of Great Grandma Gloria (my mom's mom).
The books "The 39 Clues" were recommended to us by a girl in Dallin's class at the school book fair. She loves them. I am REALLY trying to get Dallin interested in reading chapter books instead of picture books. So far not having too much luck. We are reading these at bedtime, but I am reading them to him. So far I like them we will see how he feels about them later so far it is hard to tell.
