Colin started talking about his birthday last fall and we would tell him that his birthday was after Christmas. So once Christmas was over he started asking quite frequently when his birthday was and we have been having a count down since Feb. 1st. Brian and I were saying that we don't remember our other kids getting so excited for their birthday. It was really cute.
He started his b-day celebration a few days early at preschool. He got his b-day crown and brought donuts to share with his class.
Colin (and all the kids) were up early on the day of his birthday. It was almost like Christmas. He was so excited to open his gifts so we had to do it before Austin left for school.
Colin's favorite gift was Lego Batman for the DS.
Brian took the day off to spend with Colin but then he had to make a trip to Bellevue for work and Colin did not want to go so Brian took Sienna with him and I took Colin out for a birthday lunch at McDonlad's. It was fun to have a Colin/Mom lunch together.When we have a family party the birthday boy or girl gets to choose an activity to do and where to go for dinner. Colin chose bowling and IHOP. He had been telling us for weeks that he wanted pancakes and sausage for his birthday dinner. Great choice since all the kids love breakfast.
Colin likes to run and slide on his knees when he throws the ball.
Colin's Indiana Jones cake. Happy Birthday Colin! Your enthusiasm for life brings joy and many blessings to our family. We love you!
