This year I told Lucas that we were not going to do a big Birthday Party with all of his friends but that he could choose a couple of friends and pick something fun to do. He decided he wanted to go to a Jazz Basketball game. I also told him he could choose anywhere he wanted to eat before the game and he chose Subway - of all places. Lucas decided to invite his best little buddies Sean and Henry to go to the game with us.
All of the boys were very excited and after some slight complications with our seats we finally got to sit down and watch the game. Poor Henry was ready to go home in the first quarter but Lucas was having none of that.
Once the boys were settled in with their candy and pop they were content to watch the game. They all thought they were pretty cool in their free Jazz t-shirts and still had them on the next day when they went home.
Despite the fact that the Jazz were ahead by nearly 20 points, Lucas still did not want to leave the game until the clock ran down to zero. Needless to say, by the time we got home and got ready for bed it was well past bedtime.
The boys were so excited to get outside the next morning so they could show off some of the skills they learned from watching the Jazz. Lucas was excited to try out his new Jazz basketball that he got from Sean.
Lucas and Landon both had such a fun time at the game and just hanging out with their friends and I didn't have the headache and stress of planning a big birthday bash. Win win.
