Luke's Birthday

Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Luke turned 11 this year. We just had a small family party this year and I attempted to make an Iron Man cake for him. Some of the cool presents he got this year were a remote control helicopter, some roller blades and a Wii video game - Super Smash Bros Brawl which he has been dying to get. He loved trying out the helicopter that night and has loved playing with it any chance he can get. Right now we are waiting for a replacement parts kit because a small piece broke off of one of the rotor blades. The replacement kit is pretty cheap though and that is supposedly one of the advantages to the helicopter that I bought for him. The day after Luke's birthday was warm enough that he went outside after school and tried out his roller blades first thing. He has been really wanting roller blades so he can skate around the neighborhood with his sisters. Luke is one of my easier kids to shop for because he lets you know up front what he wants and will talk about it to no end. He's a pretty easy going kid too and it's fun to have him around. He is also super excited to be in 11 year old scouts.
