Oli turns 8!

Oli's 8th birthday was all about sports!  Our gift to him was a basketball hoop on the front of the house - he LOVED it.  And we LOVE the home'y look it gives our house and the sound of the basketball bouncing outside.  He also got a football, baseballs, a bat and a mit.

I was happy to know that he still wanted a choice night...I get as much enjoyment planning it, I think.  A tradition I hope that he continues to want year after year.


He loves his new metal bat
Give an 8 year old money to buy his own gift and he feels SO grown up!


This was an easy choice...going out for dinner or staying home for dinner was a TOUGH choice.  Cake or ice cream was another tough choice.

Final choice of the night was a bubble bath in our new jacuzzi tub or a shower.
