Gehrig's 8th birthday

Yes, our "baby" turned 8 on Christmas Day. Since his daily theme is always about some sort of flying mechanism, I felt a spaceship was appropriate for the cake. I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out. (The trick is lots of icing - it covers any mistakes!) Nana and Papa got him some great scout stuff - he's going to look studly at his meetings. Grandma Bock gave him a droid battleship lego set, which we enjoyed setting up for the next two days. He's getting pretty good at following the directions by himself. We're looking forward to his baptism Saturday, Jan. 2nd.
