We celebrated Rooke's ninth birthday this month! Like Gretchen, Rooke has been blessed with many good friends since moving here. We were excited to plan a party for him! But after Gretchen's party of 6-8-year-old girls, I was determined we could not host a party of 8-10-year-old boys in our home! So we took a few friends to a trampoline park and then got burgers afterwards at a place Rooke's been wanting to try. It was a birthday party success! For his actual birthday, we laid low and let Rooke call most of the shots, which included yummy meals and staying close to home with legos, books, and football highlights. Steve and Vallerie joined us for some birthday cake and Rooke was blessed with presents from friends and family far and near. It was a good day to turn nine in our home!

In keeping with our tradition, Rooke designed his own cake. This year, he did most of the decorating, too!
Happy Birthday, Rooke! We love you!
