Davis’s 5th Birthday

Friday, we celebrated Davis’s 5th birthday. He had been excited since after Christmas for his birthday to come, and kept asking how much longer it was until February 15th.  He came running out of his room Friday morning as soon as he woke up, jumped up on the couch, and said, “It’s my birthday!”  He got to be the snacker and bring sharing to school, so he was excited to bring his stuffed tiger to share and some Angry Birds crackers for snacks. 

After school, we picked up some Wendy’s for lunch and met Shane at work.  Davis had fun eating and playing a little ping pong for lunch.  After school, the weather was really warm and nice, so the boys decided to play in the sandbox.  They hadn’t done that for awhile. 

For dinner, he requested pizza and macaroni and cheese.  So healthy!  Kelly came over, and we celebrated by eating some dinner, opening his presents from us, Kelly, and his grandparents, and eating cupcakes and ice cream.

Opening more presents:  some Cars 2 Lego cars, an Angry Birds race track (from us), and some walkie-talkies from Gma and Gpa Morris:

     

The next morning, we had his birthday party with a couple of friends from preschool and church.  He really wanted an Angry Birds Space party.  We had some fun activities:  Angry birds coloring page, made some Angry Birds out of little pompoms, flung some Angry Birds at some pigs, had an Angry Birds matching game, and finally, had an egg hunt for eggs the piggies stole. 

         

That afternoon, after the party, the boys went outside to play in the cul-de-sac, and they had fun trying out the walkie-talkies.  James especially was laughing pretty hard while talking to Shane.  He would just say “Hi Dad,” then listen to whatever Shane said, then reply, “Hi Dad.”
