Birthday fun

The eve of his birthday, we sneaked into his room to decorate with balloons, a banner and streamers.  We wanted to surprise him first thing in the morning when he woke up.  At 1:45am, Dylan came walking into Mommy and Daddy’s room – "I saw balloons in my room.  It’s my birthday.  I’m so excited".  He jumped in Mommy and Daddy’s bed and went back to sleep.  Mission FAILED!  But he still did wake up the next day, remembered the balloons and ran to room to check it out.

Before Daddy headed to work in the morning, Dylan opened his presents.  His electric scooter (from Mommy and Daddy) and new Hess truck (from Logan) made his morning.  He spent part of his morning playing with his new toys.

We were all packed and ready to go to the lake when the clouds got dark and lightening started. Apparently, Mommy missed the forecast for thunderstorms and lightening.  We waited it out hoping for the sun to come out and sure enough it did with still lots of time to head over to Tomahawk Lake.  We jumped into our cars (after Dylan blew out his cake from Lolo and Lola) and headed out to celebrate Dylan’s birthday (again!).

We were glad Grandma and Lolo were able to join us with the cousins, Ate Cece and Baby Jaden.  It’s been awhile since Dylan had been to this lake and Logan was still a baby the last time we went so everything was new to them.  They spent hours going down the slides, playing on the lily pads, bouncing on the inflatable platform and building sand castles.  Grandma even treated the kids to a paddle boat ride.  So much FUN!
Next time, we’ll have to bring along all the other cousins, titos, titas and grandparents for a BBQ.
After the Tomahawk Lake, we headed home to have dinner, ice cream cake, cupcakes with Daddy, Ninong Jeff, and Tita Juli – we missed them at the lake!

Happy Birthday Dylan – hope you enjoyed your 5th Birthday!  You are OFFICIALLY 5 years old!
