So today we treated Bridger to oatmeal (one of his favorite foods) with dinosaur and orange sprinkles (his favorite color).
Then we headed to Sam's Club to pick out cupcakes for his party. Out of birthday theme, Elmo, basketball, or Spider-Man, there wasn't even a moment's hesitation. The Spider-Man cupcakes had it. Then we got some individual milk boxes and waters and some Sonic ice and headed home to get ready for the party.
At 1:00, we met some cousins, aunts, Grammy, Grandma, and Grandpa at the park to play, open presents, and eat cupcakes. It was pretty windy, but I think the kids all had fun. When Bridger asked who would be at his party and I started listing some cousins, I said Rilla, and his face lit up: "Oh RILLA, that's my friend." Such cute cousins.
He opened up his presents. He got a basketball, Batman cave/house, and a flashlight/headlight set from Mom, Dad, and brothers. Grammy got him a Batman shooter Batwing to go with his Batcave. Grandma and Grandpa got him a remote control truck. The remote control is just a wheel so it's easy to control. Rilla gave him some candy and a card she had drawn. She even wrote her name, it was so cute! Ben and Abby gave him "Tale of Despereaux," which is a really cute movie. When we got back to the house, the boys played with the new toys for a really long time. When I first asked Bridger what his favorite gift was he said, "Rilla." I didn't know she was a gift.
(This is what happens when a man wraps the presents and/or you've just moved and can't locate regular-old Scotch tape.)
Thanks to everybody that made such a great birthday for him. He loved all of the attention most of all!
For dinner we took them to "a surprise special birthday fun place" which was Peter Piper Pizza. The boys had fun playing and Bridger got most of the attention with Mom and Dad both helping him out with whichever games he wanted to play.
(This wins the Guinness World Record for SLOWEST and SMALLEST Merry-Go-Round on earth. 2 tokens and even Kincade looked bored.)
And Jared threatened that if I didn't post this picture, he would:
Why did I EVER volunteer to play that stupid shooter game with him?
I am glad we made it for the party. Ben and Abby kept talking about it the rest of the day. That picture of you is awesome! I am glad you posted it.
