Isaac's 8th Birthday!

Isaac turned 8 on December 22nd! He had a fun day. His birthday ended up being the first day of Christmas vacation, so he got to be home all day. I should mention that the day before we got like two feet of snow and had our first ever Snow Day! We were pretty surprised because as long as I've been around I don't ever remember there being one in Utah! :)

So Isaac opened his birthday presents in the morning. He got a new Star Wars Lego set, a Crystal Growing Kit, a Penguin Pillow Pet, a new Play Doh set, and Josh gave him his first pocket knife.


Very excited about his new Lego set:

Isaac with all his birthday presents:
For his birthday dinner, Isaac chose to have cheese enchiladas. So far, I had only made chicken enchiladas that you bake in the oven (which are super yummy), but had never made cheese enchiladas. I ended up creating my own recipe, but they were pretty authentic. They turned out SO good. I'll definitely be making them again.



This year was the first year Isaac didn't ask for a decorated cake. He's been on a pineapple kick lately, so he asked for a pineapple upside-down cake...LOL. It turned out really yummy too! I loved the caramely topping!
