Happy Birthday Creder!

Well Crede was excited for his birthday ~ mainly because Morgans, Grace's and mine are all a few short weeks before his.  So obviously his expectations were set....and he let me know what they were.

He woke up to a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday sung to him at breakfast...including a candle in his vanilla yogurt.

We then spent the day waiting for school.  And waiting............and......waiting.  He was so excited to go and bring his doughnut holes with him as his treat.

He came home with a lovely birthday cake picture wishing him a very Happy Birthday.

While he was gone I cooked his Red Velvet Cake (his request) and wrapped his present...

 

Crede asked the entire day when he would be able to open his present.  All.  Day.

The moment finally arrived....

and...

he

was

thrilled.

 How can you go wrong with Hot Wheels?

When Dad arrived home, Crede (non-nonchalantly) asked:

"Did you bring me home a present?"

Dad said, "Yep, let me go grab it!"

He came back upstairs with a wad of toilet paper.

This was what was inside.

Crede was still pretty pumped about it though. 

 Then the big moment arrived.  Dinner on the special plate, and blowing out candles.

Oh ~ and don't forget tickling from Dad.

 

  And you know what Crede wanted to do for his birthday?  Rent a movie and have a popcorn party.

We ended up watching the Smurfs. (Bru-tal.)

Happy Birthday Crede!

We love you.

Oh, and Crede's very favorite things right now include:

riding his 2-wheeler (no training wheels...)

coloring (and coloring, and coloring)

reading ~ he reads almost as well as Grace

bossing Gage around

staying up late

eating German Pancakes (but not eggs, cuz they're "gross")

watching movies

playing Wii
