Birthday fun...

Atwood was very excited for his birthday this year and wanted to have a Pokemon party. He has a fun little group of boys in his Kindergarten class that he plays with and was super happy to have them at his party.

Who would have thought that one kid could be so excited about getting new Pokemon cards? I don't quite understand it, but he loves them.


He opted for cupcakes with a Pokeball on top.

I had planned a couple of games, but the boys had other plans. They are all so "boy" and they ran around the backyard with guns, light sabers, and anything else that could have resembled a weapon playing their little made-up games. It was totally fun to watch.

The next morning, on his actual birthday, he got his presents from our family. All he wanted was a 2-wheeled scooter and a soccer goal.

And that's just what he got!

A few hours later, we had some more family over for birthday doughnuts.

His aunts, uncles, and cousins got him totally set-up for his soccer season complete with jersey, soccer shoes, socks, chin guards, whistle, and a new ball.

He went out into the backyard and was running back and forth playing. Then he noticed Aaron had the camera so he totally stopped and posed for a quick picture.

That afternoon, we got to go celebrate another birthday. Aaron's grandma, Great Grandma Lewis to the kids, turned 90 this year and we had a fun afternoon with family and food. It was good to see the Lewis side of the family and catch up with everyone.

Happy Birthday Great Grandma Lewis!

We're glad we could celebrate with her.
