We started the morning with a dance party in the living room (jamming to the Black Eyed Peas' "I've got a feeling"). Will's breakfast of choice was waffles with blueberries, whip cream and sprinkles (LOTS of them), a few candles topped it off with a chorus of Happy Birthday! Will got another serenade from cousins Aidan and Andrew while still eating breakfast! Awesome way to start the day!
We then got prepared for our next adventure. We tool advantage of our Zoo membership and went exploring! This was also special because it was Gabi's first time to the Zoo. Dinosaurs, some rhinos, koala bears, kangaroos, and lunch... all 3 kids were passed out on the way home!
After some quick naps, the kids enjoyed the sunshine and had some water fun!
We managed to pack the kids up again and headed to ToysRUs for Will's birthday surprise.... a NEW BIKE! This process was a little more stressful than we anticipated..... but in the end, Will was SO happy, and SOOO grateful. He ran to Daddy and said "thank you, I am so happy!" The evening ended with a trip on his new bike, singing Happy Birthday at 9:01pm (his birth time), cake (with cotton candy) and a kiss goodnight followed by..."it was a Great Day".
it really was a great day, enjoying each other, and hearing Will's laughter over and over was priceless.
Thanks for all the calls and birthday wishes!
