Birthday Craziness

I am a bit overdue for birthday posts but wanted to share our celebrations none the less.  As always birthday week at our house is full of fun, parties, lots do cake, and a bit of chaos.  I love birthdays, I always have but they have taken on a whole new meaning since getting to share them with my boys.  We started the celebrations on Friday night with an adults only date for Greg and I. My mom and dad came to watch the kids so Greg and I could hit the town for some drinks and dinner.  We were able to enjoy a great dinner and even better conversation.  Being the party animals we are we still even ended up in bed by 11:00, oh how the times have changed.

We spent Saturday getting prepped for Briggs party and playing at home.  Saturday evening we headed out to our good friends, The Dickeys house for a bonfire and weeny roast.  They have such a great house for entertaining and it was a nice way to celebrate Greg's birthday.  Sunday morning I was up at the break of dawn to start making the breakfast feast for Briggs party.  I attempted my first batch of homemade cinnamon rolls and was actually pretty impressed with the end result. Briggs party was great, he loved having all his cousins over to help him celebrate. He was in heaven with his loot of cars he received.

Monday Greg and I both took the day off work to spend Briggs actual birthday with him. We left Harper with Gram for the day so we could truly devote all our efforts to Briggs. We decided to hit up Paradise Park in Lee Summit for the day and ended up having a blast. Briggs got to ride his first go-cart with Greg and loved it.  We had his favorite lunch of chip and dip before upon his request going home to play with his new toys.  Tuesday brought about his school party with yet more cupcakes and a full day of Briggs getting to feel pretty special. 

 

Can't believe that we are parents to a 5 year old, man that seems so old.  We are so proud of Briggs and the sweet little man he is becoming.  I am simply amazed everyday that I get to be the Mommy to such a awesome kid.  I know this year will bring so much growing up and so many changes for Briggs and we are so excited to experience them all with him.  Happy birthday BB.
