The Birthday Boy

John woke up this morning and came running into our room. "It's my birthday! I can open my present now!" We saw Mimi yesterday and she gave John his birthday present to open on his birthday. As you can tell he was very excited about opening his present.

Daddy and I decided to have a pizza party at school for John today. Daddy picked up the pizza and I met him at school. The kids were already eating. "John's mommy! This pizza's really good!" The kids had plenty to eat. Then it was time for cupcakes. I made cupcakes with green icing and dinosaur decorations. John got to pick his cupcake and then everyone sang to him. After cupcakes it was time for a piñata. Sticking with the dinosaur theme, we had a dinosaur piñata with ribbon pull strings. John got to pull the first ribbon and pick a friend to go next. Then that friend got to pick the next and so on. One little girl actually got a good ribbon that almost broke the piñata, but that was short lived. All the kids got a chance and John got to go one extra time. Unfortunately the kids were not able to break the piñata open, but Miss Mary is strong and she opened it up. John then got to hand out all his goodie bags. He was so proud and excited.

John decided to have Mac & Cheese for dinner tonight. While I was boiling water he got to open some more gifts. He opened the present from Grandma and Grandpa. He shouted "Yes! A marshmallow shooter!" Then he opened up Aunt Betty's present. "Poppers Penguins! I love that movie!" He also opened a present from Mommy, Daddy and Gillian. After opening all the presents he said "Can I open my marshmallow shooter?" At the same time, Daddy said no and I said yes. It's his birthday how can you say no?

The best part of the day, John did you have a good day? "I had an awesome day!"
