Having a birthday so close to Christmas might not sound like much fun, but it never has phased Cole. We try to make a big deal about his birthday eventhough it is only 5 days before Christmas. We have always had his parties during Christmas break, so he enjoys celebrating with friends while school is out. We've had his parties at home, Fire Station #1, Adventureland, Skate Zone, the Wellness Center pool, and now the Rebelanes Bowling Alley. The only bowling our kids have ever done has strictly been on our Wii, so this was a new experience for them. Their favorite part was wearing the bowling shoes. Do you think they Germ-X those between uses? Cole managed to lift the heavy ball, but Mary Conlee opted for the metal apparatus that held the ball in place! After we bowled, we went to the "party room" where the kids feasted on hot dogs, chips, and cake. The guests all signed a bowling pin and Rebelanes gave it to Cole as a party favor. So we have officially celebrated his "coming of 8." How do we keep the spirit alive all through the year until the next birthday comes around? My Granny always said that's what 1/2 birthdays are for...and Cole's will be here on June 20!

Pal- you're a fast blogger! We're so glad Cole had a happy birthday! We had fun. I just noticed how they the racetrack on his cake makes an 8. How neat! It was yummy...
Mary Conlee's new haircut looks precious too.

Happy birthday to Cole!!! Cannot believe the boy is 8!!! Love you!
Happy Birthday to Cole!! Causey & Bounds had a great time, and Bounds would like to thank Mr. Judd for letting him sign his name---I'm sure that may have taken some years off of Judd's life to hand that permanent marker over to Bounds!!! It was a fun party!
