Luke's B-day

I know this is a little late, but those of you who know what has been going on in my life totally understand. The day of Luke's birthday was pretty low key. He went to school and then when he got home he went outside to play with Gabby, Ethan, Matty, and Lily. They played in this nice muddy hole at the end of our street, but hey it was his birthday. All he wanted to do for his birthday was eat at Golden Coral. The reason?! Well when we moved here we had no food and on the way home from dropping off the truck in a town 20 min from where we are we spotted a Golden Coral and stopped. Luke was AMAZED that you could pick anything you wanted and if you didn't like it you didn't have to eat it and you could just go get something else. Add that to the rolls and he was SOLD! So even though he had come home from school sick the day before and hadn't really eaten anything all day we decided to honor his wish. After Nate got home we opened presents and set out to the restaurant. I think DeNae's kids were excited too because they were all bouncing off the walls!! Luke didn't really eat much and ended up lying down on the chairs, but he didn't want to leave. The rest of us ate our fill, really everyone ate a ton, and then we headed home. Our neighbors have taken a liking to us so they were eager to come say happy birthday to Luke too. As soon as we walked in the door they came over and we all sang to Luke and had cake and ice cream. Everyone that is but Luke. He went to bed because his belly was hurting. Poor kid. He ended up staying home the next day because he didn't feel good at all. (But that didn't keep him from playing with everything he got!!) All in all it was a good day even though he didn't feel totally well.My handsome seven year old!!So happy with his presents!!Our neighbors Angie and Steve with their son and his daughter.
