So declared Danny to me this morning, as we wind down what appears to be a rousing success of a birthday celebration (to be completed tonight with dinner at his favorite restaurant, Fogo de Chao). It started with a sweet treat at school:

Then a relaxing evening at home, just the five of us, opening presents and eating alligator cake:
The next morning Danny had a soccer game (where he scored two goals to secure a tie for their team), and then we rounded up his three best buddies and headed to SkyZone. Dodge ball was the primary activity for these guys, though they did take a few turns flipping into the foam pit.

Clare, Isabella, Gabrielle and Laura were also along for the excursion. Laura surprised us by jumping quite a bit, despite having attended a birthday party in the morning and skipping her nap:
Eight- and nine-year-old boys are quite energetic, particularly when fueled with milkshakes, so I admit I enjoyed some wine at the end of the evening. But Danny was so enthusiastic and grateful about his day, which is all we could have hoped for. Every year with him truly is sublime!
