Birthday Celebration
Sunday was Nick's big birthday celebration with the family. We started off with dinner at Red Robin (Nick's choice). I'm not sure if he likes it there because of the food, the balloons, or all the activity that takes place. Kids get a free sundae on their birthday and the wait staff comes over to sing.
Usually, Nick enjoys it. However, they caught us all a bit off-guard by setting the sundae down in front of Nick before we had all finished eating. Nick got a little shy while they sang, but was ready to dive into the whipped cream as soon as they left. We let him eat a little bit before we headed back to our house for cake and presents.
Nick was really aware of his birthday this year. And, since we decided to just have a family party this year, I wanted Nick to be a part of it. So, he picked out his cake at Baskin Robbin's . . . he chose Madagascar! He just loves animals. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any Madagascar party supplies, so I made him his own birthday banner -- it's now hanging above his toy area.
Nick received many special gifts, and he was so good about saying thank you for each one. I'm helping him with his thank you notes, but for now . . . hopefully, the smile and the words I helped him spell below (he helped find some of the letters or "abc's" as he calls them) will do for now.
