Robert had to go out of town yesterday so we get to celebrate his birthday tonight! Hot dog hot dog hot diggity dog!!
We’re off to eat cake! See you tomorrow!
Happy Birthday!
What a day! It’s our best guy’s birthday today!!!
To quote one of your *favorite* books to read to the kids before bed…
If we didn’t have birthdays, you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born, well then what would you do?
If you’d never been born, well then what would you be?
You might be a fish! Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob! Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of hard green tomatoes.
Or worse than all that. . . Why, you might be a WASN’T!
A Wasn’t has no fun at all. No, he doesn’t.
A Wasn’t just isn’t. He just isn’t present.
But you. . .You ARE YOU! And, now isn’t that pleasant!
Robert, we’re so glad you aren’t a Wasn’t!!
I’d say 40 was pretty good to you….
Can’t wait to see what 41 brings! We love you so much and are so thankful for all that you do.
Happy Birthday to the best guy around!!
We love you Robert!
Happy Birthday!
It’s a very special day! It’s GJ’s Birthday!!!
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear GJ aka…our favorite soccer cheerleader…
the best birthday party guest…
the one who is always up for a Disney trip…
and the one who can’t help from dancing when the music comes on!
Happy Birthday to you!
You’re our favorite person to go visit…
and we’re so glad our favorite place in Naples is still there and ready for another trip!
Happy Birthday GJ! We think you’re the BESTEST!!
We love you!
The rest of the birthday
Maxwell’s never ending birthday finally wrapped up on Wednesday of last week with his real, actual birthday day! He got to celebrate on Tuesday afternoon with Susan who is always so generous on birthdays…
and again on Wednesday morning with the traditional cinnamon roll breakfast of birthday champions…
and again that afternoon at school when he took football cookies.
His class does a “birthday blessing” where each student makes a card for the birthday kid and they go around in a circle and either read their card or say something nice about him. I got to go up there for it and it was pretty sweet to watch. 🙂
I then got to have lunch in the cafeteria with my favorite 7 year old!
That night we all went to dinner at Mexico Lindo with GJ and Daddo in tow. We then went home for icebox cake – Maxwell’s choice!!
Pretty much all of Maxwell’s gifts were AL football related, including some cool football player pjs that I got for him and Spence. I realized that morning that I had not gotten anything for Samantha and I knew she needed a present to open too so I sent GJ to Target to find some and, just our luck, these “beautiful” Frozen pjs were on the clearance rack with one size 3T remaining! They sure are ugly…and she sure does love them! ha!
The next day Maxwell went to school with just about all of his AL gear on his body. Love this kid.
A BIG happy 7th to Maxwell!!
Roll Tide for Maxwell!
Maxwell had his birthday party last Friday at Urban Air and it was all AL football themed! No surprise there!
We, of course, went all out with the AL theme and dressed accordingly! Maxwell even got a new Derrick Henry jersey for the party!
He had tons of buddies there and everyone loved running, jumping, playing dodgeball, being ninja warriors, and everything else you can do at Urban Air.
We even had eye black for everyone! Gotta look the part…
So tough!
Samantha had a blast just running around on her own. That girl never slowed down!
Maxwell requested a football field cake so we had just that! We added some of our own AL players to it and it turned out great.
I love this “I’m trying not to smile but I really want to smile” face!
Happy Birthday Maxwell!
I love celebrating this awesome SEVEN year old!!!
See you tomorrow!
