Birthday Boy

We had an awesome weekend. Friday we headed up to Madison and spent two nights. We walked around the city singing U Rah Rah Wisconsin Friday night, had a fantastically huge breakfast on Saturday, did some shopping, bought a Badger t-shirt for the little man, hit the hotel pool, ordered pizza, drank beers at the Union (and an ice cream for little man), checked on the new BBQ place downtown and came home today to celebrate Everest's 5th birthday. Our first birthday together as a family. Celebrating his 5th year with us and the 4 before where we couldn't sing him a Happy Birthday. I think we made up for it with numerous renditions of Happy Birthday. We made a cake, blew out candles and opened presents: a spider man t-shirt, iron man mask, iron man nerf gun and a big walking electronic robot. Yeah, we're pretty cool parents. Right now little man is in a special bed (blankets on floor in living room with us) and keeps on asking if when he wakes up in the morning he can play with his toys. He is sleeping with them right now. So cute, he said a million times today, "MommyDad, thank you for the birthday presents." He would open up the presents and exclaim, "Awesome." And it was. Every bit of it.
