Papa came to visit for Evan's birthday and we were all very excited....especially the boys!
It took Luke a little bit to warm up to the strange guy with the glasses but he was asking for "papapapa" at the end of his first day here.
We took Papa to the Purple Cow and then tried to go to the Zoo but it is Spring Break and there was literally a traffic jam trying to get into the zoo. We went to Starbucks instead...a favorite of the boys. Vanilla milk and cookies always takes the sting out of any disappointment.
For Evan's birthday, we got up to see what the Birthday Monsters had left! The Birthday Monsters has become a tradition here after reading the Sandra Boynton book. Evan got his birthday balloons....Luke's favorite part of the morning... a new game for his Leapster, lots of gardening tools just for him and a tent that looks just like a farm. Both boys thought the tent was awesome and spent the morning feeding the "animals".
We had pictures done at a local park with both boys. Luke was less than enthused but the photographer and Papa were great at getting a few smiles. Hopefully they will turn out.
Evan chose to go to McDonalds for lunch and play outside at the play area. We then went to the aquarium which was also beyond crowded but we did still enjoy it and Evan loved showing Papa all his favorite things.
Evan decided on mini cheeseburgers on the grill for dinner and then we had ice cream cake adorned with Mickey Mouse. Evan loved having Papa here for his birthday and I think Papa enjoyed seeing the boys...and enjyoing a little warm Texas weather.
It was a great day and Evan kept asking if he was a big boy now that he was 4! I can hardly believe how old he seems now and how it seems like just yesterday that he was my tiny little guy.There have been LOTS of long days in the last 4 years, but I am so thrilled to be able to watch my baby grow up and change!
