This year Trent lucked out! He celebrated his 8th birthday three times! Typically we have one big party with family and his friends but this year we were at the Outer Banks for his birthday! So we had a little party at the beach, lunch when our family was in town for the Relay for Life, and some of his friends over on Saturday for a playdate complete with scavenger hunt, water balloons and dogs cooked over the firepit!
As a January baby, I only got to celebrate at the beach when our family lived in Hawaii so I thought it was really neat for him to spend his big day playing in the sand! But, when asked, his favorite part of his birthday celebrations were the water balloons with his friends at the house. Ian, however, insists that we will be spending his birthday at the beach....on January 11th.
No matter how we celebrate, it is important to me that we make birthday memories! This year I hope he remembers his family sticking around town after a very long day at the relay to celebrate with him. I hope he remembers waking up at the beach on his big day and being buried in the sand. Finally I hope he remembers the simple summer fun on a hot summer day with his friends.
It is hard for me to believe that he is eight already! Happy Birthday Trent!
