Happy birthday...

After all the birthday parties, Josh's birthday was finally here! Ryan surprised us and took the day off of work. The day started with presents from mom and dad. Josh got a new "laptop" (kid version), Night at the Museum 1 & 2 DVD, a pre-school work book and a dino book. We also told him we'd go to ToysRUs to pick out a new toy. Then it was off to pre-school. The kids all sang happy birthday and put a candle in his treat.

After preschool, as promised, we took Josh to ToysRUs. He picked out a Toy Story video game that plugs into the TV. He was so excited to go home and play it. Unfortunately, it wasn't a fun game. So we quickly packaged it back up and took it back. ToysRUs was nice enough to let us upgrade the game. Josh picked out the Toy Story game for the XBox - much better!


We let Josh pick where he wanted to go to dinner (secretly hoping he wouldn't pick Chuck E Cheese). Josh picked Del Taco. What did he order? A cheeseburger and french fries! But at least he had fun playing on their playground.

Although we had two birthday parties last weekend, complete with cake and cupcakes, Josh thought he needed a birthday cake on his actual birthday. So I quickly made a chocolate cake. At the last minute, Josh was insistent that it should be a Batman cake. I wasn't going to the store, so I had to think of what I could do with a partial tube of red frosting. I thought it turned out pretty good for on the fly.

Josh had a great birthday!!!
