Lucky Birthday

We celebrated Lucky's birthday in December. His school teacher has a tradition of making a balloon hat for the birthday child. That is so fun. Jeremy delivered balloons for the students from Lucky. Lucky brought home a penguin for himself. That boy loves penguins.

His teacher also gave him a book where he could learn to draw certain characters. The boys had fun trying that out and Lucky's brothers drew birthday pictures for him.

Here is his birthday dinner spread. He requested spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and by meatballs he meant meatless meatballs. Luckily everything else he chose was somewhat simple since the "meat"balls take some work. He helped me roll them into balls again and again liked that we could snack on bits before they were cooked.

All year Lucky has been making LEGO sculptures for everyone's birthday. So sweet. Jr. Jr. decided to make Lucky a penguin... and a baby penguin. Thanks, Jr. Jr. I love when our children think of others like that.

I think Lucky enjoyed his birthday and it was good to celebrate as a family.
