Dallas 8th Birthday

 One of the presents we gave Dallas was a couple of rides at MB2 the indoor motor cart track in Des Moines. They had a great Groupon.com deal 

Robert and Dallas went and took their rides after Christmas and they both enjoyed the experience.

 We had the grandparents and family over for a little birthday celebration. Of course he got Legos and they got put to use right away!

 Robert and I gave Dallas a Traaxas remote control Slash truck.  It gets played with a lot and hasn't broken yet.  It looks really fun.

 Having a friend party in December is fairly difficult. I talked Dallas into having a couple buddies over on a Thursday night to watch the Iowa vs. Iowa State Mens Basketball game and call it a birthday party. We ordered pizza, had popcorn and ice cream. Everyone took guesses on what the score would be. It was a good time, but in reality all they really wanted to do was play wrestle-tackle football in the living room.  I don't really consider my house to be super large. But having a couple extra humans, plus a Christmas tree set up makes it crazy. Next year remind me to see if I can rent a wrestling room for the party.

 Eating!

 Three pizzas was just the right amount
