Soooo.......
Thursday night Lucas' mom & dad came up and stayed with us. His mom is a cleaning machine, and so my house was VERY neat and tidy for the party on Saturday! Plus, we just had a great time hanging out, spending time together, doing a little bit of shopping (well, Jane & I shopped... the men and kids stayed home!).
The party was Saturday - right on his birthday! He invited 4 friends from school, and THEY ALL CAME! I was so excited for him! December is a TOUGH month for getting people together! Understandably. There is always a Christmas party to go to, or a family function, or just rotten bad weather. But it worked out beautifully, and Isaac got to enjoy the afternoon with his buddies! He was especially happy that his best friend Carrie was able to come. So was I. I absolutely love watching the 2 of them together. They just get along SO well, and their conversations are the best! Love it!
As for the stats: The party theme was Army. He had a big army helmet cake and little cupcakes with soldiers on top. Kinda looks like a battlefield from this angle - a chocolate battlefield! 
It took him SEVERAL times to blow out all his candles. It must be because he's just so old now that there are too many to blow out *lol*. Or, it could be that he had bad aim. It took him so long, I was pretty sure they were trick candles at one point. But in the end, he got them knocked out.
We did pizza, veggies, apple slices & Chex Mix for lunch. The kids played a lot of Brawl on wii. And generally made a lot of noise. But they were all really good. As for presents, he got quite a lot. Some fave's were the army lego kit, the army base set that came with plastic soldiers (like the ones on his cupcakes), the book from Grandma B., his lantern for fishing, and the big giant dragon. He also got some money, so I took him on a Toys R Us outing, and he picked out a lego set (one that I am PRETTY sure no one said they were getting him for Christmas... that's always tough when he wants to spend his $$ 6 days before Christmas!).
For a little while after he opened presents, his friends all went back down to the basement & he stayed in the living room to play with his army base (thanks Grandma & Grandpa W.). Finally I had to tell him he would have to go pay attention to his guests... he could play army later.
So Sebastian picked up where Isaac left off. Apparently the set was a hit all the way around. Even Meagan got in on the action, although she didn't appreciate when her people were bombed or engaged in combat of any form because it 'knocked them down and messed them all up.' Girls.
