MICHAEL IS 8!!

Ok, so it was two days ago, sue me! He had a great birthday, after having a week of for Thanksgiving break, it snowed like crazy Sunday night and he had a snow day on his birthday!! He was pretty excited about not having to go to school on his birthday. Despite the crappy weather, we went to Olive Garden for dinner. He had been bugging to go there for a long time, so we went. We had a great dinner. He was disappointed that they didn't have rootbeer in a bottle anymore, but that disappointment didn't last long, especially when they brought him his huge bowl of gelato!
The next morning, he looked in the mirror and was very disappointed that he didn't look any different! He thought that because he got a year older, he should have grown or something. I tried to make himi understand that it doesn't work that way. I've been the same height since eight grade!!
All in all it was a good birthday and is going to be better because his party is this Saturday at Chuck E. Cheese!! This will be his first birthday party with friends, he's really excited. I'll post pics (I promise!!) after the party.
