Ingredients for a fun birthday weekend for our newly eight year old boy:
1. LOTS of playtime: playtime at home, playtime at the Science Center, playtime with family, and playtime with friends.
 |
| St. Louis Science Center |
2. Favorite foods of Luke's choosing throughout the entire weekend: P.F. Changs, biscuits and gravy, BBQ pork and homemade fries, pizza, and snickerdoodle cookie cake.
3. Family time! Having all four grandparents in town would have been wonderful in and of itself, but to throw a visit from Uncle Brian in there too..... talk about a recipe for a good weekend! (Brian, in case you didn't hear it the ten times I feel like I said it yesterday- we are SO happy to have you living closer now!)
4. Silly time at a birthday party full of friends.
