These first few pics are of Erik opening his Nintendo DS, the gift that he has been begging for since before Christmas. Being the mean mom that I am, when he would ask or mention that "I'm the only kid who doesn't have a DS," I would reply, "I just don't think that it's an appropriate gift for and 8 year old." I was totally laying the groundwork for the greatest surprise, ever. I even had my parents playing along as they bought a DS game and told him that they bought the wrong type by mistake. It was so fun. His face says it all!
Erik is officially 8 now, which means that he "officially" knows all. It does seem, if possible, that he is talking even more and at greater speed now. Help! He enjoyed a slumber party again this year, complete with swimming and pizza, ice cream sundaes instead of cake, movie and fireworks in the driveway.
