The 4 T's Adventure through Life: Trent's 9th Birthday!

I still can't wrap my head around Trent being 9 years old...where did my baby go? Trent turning 9 years old is crazy and starting 4th grade is even crazier! For two months prior to his birthday and birthday party Trent had been looking forward to turning 9. The week of his birthday he was so excited as the 24th got closer and closer his excitement was hard for him to contain, he was so giddy, it was so cute. The day of his party, which was the day before his actual birthday he could not wait for his first guest to arrive. His classmates and close friends were coming over to celebrate his birthday. A video game truck would be parked in front of our house for 2 hours, which is heaven for 9 year old boys. They all cheered when they saw the truck coming down the street and then lined up outside the door waiting for the video game playing to begin.

The front yard is ready for the party...it was only about 90 degrees at 4pm...hot!

The theme of the party was Skylanders, a favorite video game of Trent's.

Open, open, open!

All smiles!

Don't get in-between boys and their video games.

Terra was enjoying herself at the party too...she had plenty of attention.

She loved playing in the wagon.

After 2 hours of video game playing the boys were hungry. We ate pizza, the kids ran around like wild animals, then we sang happy birthday to our birthday boy and had cupcakes...and the kids played some more.

The birthday cake.

Just a few cupcakes...

Happy 9th Birthday to Trent! We love you!

Trent and his friends had a great time playing. After his friends went home, the family stayed to watch Trent open his gifts.

Trent had to wear his cowboy hat while opening presents...he loves his hat.

Everyone was so generous with their gifts to Trent. He was so excited to open his presents. One of his gifts was a guitar. He really is a country boy.
