Will Turns Eight!

As is our tradition, he decorated the cake himself. It's not his fault that it was falling apart though... or that there wasn't enough frosting. The baker (me) had a few measuring mistakes, I think. :)


This boy never looks at the camera! LOL!


Listening to "Happy Birthday" and deciding what to wish for.


Take a DEEP breath...



and blow 'em out!


He saved all his birthday money, sold his wooden trains to Jeff & I (so now we have "control" over them and can keep them for as long as we want), and took what money was in his piggy bank and we went shopping for an electric train set. After about an hour of deliberating on which set to get, he decided on the Lionel Penn Flyer, complete with whistle and smoking funnel. He proudly pulled out that $250 in cash and plopped it on the cashier's counter. His first big purchase. :)
