Buddy is 8!

Buddy wanted an army or camping sort of theme to his family birthday celebration.  Mainly, he wanted army and I found some cute camping party ideas.  All that really happened was some decorations and a cake.  The cake doesn't technically make sense since it's army guys battling with a giant campfire between them.  Sort of a combination of two different cake ideas I saw on Pinterest and couldn't decide between.  It's also supposed to be camouflaged if you can see the green and brown sprinkles.

He got to do whatever he wanted to do today so this was our day: he woke up at 7AM and played the GameCube for a long time.  Then breakfast.  Then presents.  Then waffles for an early lunch.  Then building new Lego sets.  Then a trip to some of his favorite stores which included H.H.Gregg (he apparently loves the fridge section of the store), a brand new tractor supply store's grand opening (which included a free hat, and seeing baby goats, sheep and pigs).  Then he finally got to go to Toys R Us to spend his hard earned money (and a $3 gift card they sent for his birthday).  He bought more Legos.  Then a party store for army balloons.  Then home for English muffin pizzas and his cake and more Lego building.
