Thursday was Landon’s 6th birthday. It is amazing how much he is growing up every day. We had a fun time celebrating his birthday this year, and when anyone asked him if he’d had a good birthday, he would respond, “It was great!”
The birthday festivities began a little early when Grandma Morris drove up and surprised him on Wednesday evening. Davis was looking out the window when he said, “Mom, there’s Grandma!” I told him that couldn’t be grandma, but then Landon looked out the window, saw Grandma, then ran as fast as he could across the living room to me exclaiming, “Mom! It IS Grandma!!!” He was so excited that he fell down while running. He thought it was pretty funny.
Thursday morning, we made Landon some crepes for breakfast (his request) before he headed to school. He got a fun birthday crown (made of paper, he pointed out to anyone he talked to on the phone), and he was excited to have all of his friends sing to him. When he got home, my mom made a treasure hunt for him, and at the end he found a $5 bill. He loves treasure hunts and was excited to add the money to his piggy bank.
We loaded up the car, picked up Shane at work, and headed to Spaghetti Factory for lunch. Landon wanted to have their macaroni and cheese and rainbow ice cream for his birthday. Shane didn’t complain about that (or maybe secretly suggested it to him?) We had a nice lunch, and Landon had fun opening his presents there at the restaurant. One of his gifts was a stuffed Mario and Luigi from me and Shane. He had wanted one of each to share with Davis. He also got a Toy Story Wii game and some Buzz pajamas from us, two great Lego sets from Grandma Malan, a camera and some books from Grandma Morris, and a fun, big ball and cars from Jake and Stacey. His Uncle Kelly stopped by later with a fun card and another $5, and he got a card from Grandma Landon with some money too. He was excited to put it all in his piggy bank!
