Dominick turns Eight!

Dominick is 8. (I know, I know, I know! But I've checked the math and it's true!)

I'll never get used to this. Waking up one morning, staring into the eyes of a child where I'd expect to find a snotty nosed (albeit adorable) toddler. How do they sneak it by us? It's one of Mother nature's cruelest tricks: turning our babies into independent children behind our backs! But I digress. Enough of my Mommy melodrama!

We had a great time celebrating his birthday! The night before, he lost his 2nd front tooth and the tooth fairy left a little extra birthday money as a treat! For dinner we made the famous "As-seen-on-iCarly-Bisghetti Taco's" and then finished it off with an amazing cake and great gifts!

Mimi and Papa Odom and Mimi and Papa Fiore made Dominick the happiest 8yr old on the planet by sending him exactly what he asked for: Birthday money. He was able to shop til he dropped and pick out exactly what he wanted!

I love how excited he looks opening his gifts! I think your cake is awesome, too! It is hard to believe they grow up so fast...bittersweet for sure. Enjoy it!!

Whenever I ask the kids for advice on menu ideas, Kristen always asks, "When are you going to make bahsketti tacos?" I, however, am not as daring as you my dear sister....please send me your recipe asap;)

Can't believe Dom is 8! Definitely time to get together again!
