Another friend turns 8...

Jaymi's oldest friend just turned 8.  They went to preschool together, and when that school shut down (just as they were going into kindergarten) we chose a different school than they did.  But since then, they have had a weekly playdate almost every weekend.  They have stayed close, and consider each other best friends, and old friends.  They are more like cousins...family...and I love that they have stayed close. 

So today was his birthday party, and his mom made the best cake ever!  They both share a love for Garfield, so Jaymi was thrilled when she saw that the cake was a big Garfield cake.

The party was at a play place where the kids always get so hot - lots of exercise, running around, sliding, etc..

We have also watched his little sister grow up from an 8-month-old baby girl to a 5-yr-old kindergartner.

Jaymi gave him a Webkinz bald eagle, which he loved,

and she made him a Garfield placemat too.
