Sean's birthday was actually last Wednesday but we had the family celebration yesterday. Sean gets so excited about everything so he couldn't wait to get the party started! Dinner was chosen by the birthday boy and he picked hamburgers and fries (he always does). Then we had an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins (a birthday tradition in our family).
Sean's cake had trick candles so every time he blew them out they would light up again! He tried really hard to blow them out!
After cake, Sean opened his presents. He got lots of clothes and superhero action figures (which he plays with for hours) from Grandma and Grandpa, Marilyn, and me. As he opened presents, he seemed to get more and more distressed. For weeks he has been telling us that he wanted a bike (with gears) for his birthday. He thought it would be too expensive so he told all of us to go in together and get it as a "family gift." Because he was opening presents from us, he thought he wasn't going to get a bike. But his Mom and Dad came through!
When my brother-in-law brought it in, the look on Sean's face was absolutely priceless! He went from disappointment to extreme joy in about ten seconds!
He immediately took it outside to try it out and practice "changing gears." I asked him if he had a good birthday and he said he was so happy because he had lots of new toys to play with, new outfits to wear to school next week, and a new bike! Happy Birthday Sean! We sure do love you!
Note: I am so glad that Sean still likes to play with superhero action figures! I sometimes wish we could go back to the days when all Tashena wanted was Barbies!
