Parker's Birthday

Now on to Parker's birthday. One of the things he wanted to do was go to Lagoon-a-Beach. We endulged him and went there for about two and a half hours. Then he wanted, of all places, to go to Chuch-a-Rama for dinner. How many people do you know that ask for a buffet for their birthday dinner? My child does. This is the second time he has done this. The first time it was at Hometown Buffet. Who said Parker was normal? To prove he is "normal" he did not have a traditional birthday cake. But, first you might think I was to cheap to buy a birthday cake, that is not it. Parker wanted doughnuts the night before. He thought that we needed to celebrate his birthday for like 24 hours prior to his birthday and 24 hours after his birthday. He had all these grand and glorious plans, which we as parents put a halt to very quickly. Not because we were trying to be rude or mean, just money starts to come in to play. Oh well. Back to the doughnuts, he wanted to doughnuts, but nobody was hungry, this was the night before, so we decided that we would use doughnuts as his birthday cake (I ran out of time, but I was going to arrange them to look like a cake - but oh well, next time). There are a couple pictures, about 1/8 of his birthday present(s). He had been eyeing a Star Wars collection on KSLclassifieds. It took us, his grandparents, and an aunt and uncle to buy it for him, but when he opened it he was thrilled. All that you can see is a box being open, but the gift consisted of about 8 big boxes.
