Luke's 5th Birthday

Happy 5th Birthday Luke!

For Luke's birthday we celebrated with a small family party. We had Luke's favorite meal: Pizza Hut pepperoni pizza.

After dinner it was time for presents. Grandma and Grandpa gave Luke Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Transformers. Take a look at how excited Grandpa was for Luke to open these gifts!
We gave Luke a Pirate Lego set and more Star Wars Galactic Hero people.

Aunt Kristen gave Luke Buzz Lightyear wings and arm cuffs that shoot little discs. Luke loves Buzz and you will see more of him as Buzz at Halloween.

Grandma was a big help getting the wings on Luke and helping figure out the Bumblebee Transformer. What would we do without Grandma? We definitely missed Morgan's ability to put things together this year!

After presents, it was time for CAKE!!!

Luke requested a Captain Rex Clone Trooper cake. Here was my attempt to make it happen:

Things that I love about Luke:

-He knows that Heavenly Father listens to his prayers. Whenever he loses a toy he will say a prayer and ask for Heavenly Father's help. There have been many times that toys have miraculously been found.

-He enjoys reading from the scriptures and reminds us nightly to do so. Luke really enjoyed the story from the New Testament about Jesus casting the evil spirits from a man. One night when Miriam was throwing a fit, he knelt down in his room and prayed that the bad spirit in Miriam would leave.

-Luke always tells us that he loves us.

-He generally wants to please us.

-He gives great hugs.

-He has a happy disposition and loves to laugh.

-I cannot imagine our lives without him. He is the best big brother and son. We love you Luke!
