This is a video from the day after Aaron's birthday. I've been wanting to get these on video for a couple months now but by the time I grab the camera he is out of the singing mood. So I grabbed it quick when he was saying rhymes and singing songs the entire way home from Susie's---before he could escape his car seat. Finally!
Aaron turned "sree" on Thursday the 15th. He received an early birthday present from Grandma May and Grandpa Bob. He and Daddy synced their computers.
Today we had Aaron's birthday party. It was a Mickey/Minnie theme. He was a very happy boy, and a very lucky one too. He wore his special Mickey shirt which Jen made him.
Thanks to Uncle Chad and Auntie Kristin he is going to handle all of the ironing from now on. "Now I can iron all day long!" he said. Yes you can. :)
Ben and Addilyn gave Aaron a 4000 piece Lego set. And Jen gave Aaron a promise to come over every weekend and help him build his set. :)
Susie and Sheridan gave Aaron roller skates (which he has secretly been practicing on) and a Playdo kitchen set.
After this point things got a little hectic, so I didn't keep up with the picture-taking too well. Aaron received many wonderful gifts. Thanks to Gaga and Papa for the new Thomas add-ons, and to Uncle Kevin for the kitchen scale and Duck goods, and to Heidi, Mia and Matt for the bat books---perfect because we have bats who favor our porch at night.
And the cake! Oh my, the cake. Over the summer Aaron and I started discussing what kind of a birthday party he would like and what he'd like for dessert. He asked specifically for Mickey and Minnie but made it clear that Minnie should be the star of the show. We started looking online for ideas and came across some really amazing cakes. We found one he loved of a round cake with a red car on top that had Mickey and Minnie in it. He said it was perfect except Minnie was wearing red and he wanted her to wear pink. This was far beyond my dessert making abilities. So I asked Jen (AKA Cake Boss) if she would make him a Mickey/Minnie cake with Minnie wearing pink.
Isn't it amazing?!
The entire thing was completely edible except for Minnie who was stuffed. And wearing pink! The star of the show. Aaron was very happy. And a little nervous about me cutting it up. I was nervous too.
Thanks Jen! It was perfect.
After cake Ben, Addilyn, and Aaron went back to playing. Now that Addy is crawling she is right in there with those boys. She kept going through the tunnel with them.
Yes, this is a picture of my son pushing an adorable BABY out of his tunnel. I'm keeping this picture forever.
After our guests left Daddy and Aaron headed to the Playdo kitchen. By the way, Aaron never napped today so he was exhausted by this point. But they made lots of yummy sounding food. Playdo is not gluten free. ;)
A chef always takes his work seriously.
But he will pause for paparazzi.
