Birthday Boy

OK ... so I'm not sure WHAT Uncle Clay is doing in the photo above ... just singing I guess. On Sunday, we went up to Maga's house for dinner and cake and ice cream for the birthday boy, Callahan Blackham ... I can't believe he's turning TWELVE!

Monday was his actual birthday ... the kids were out of school, as it was President's Day (Happy Birthday to Washington and Lincoln too). To celebrate, we went out for a birthday breakfast. Callahan even got to sit in the front seat of the car ... although Landon was NOT happy about that and was checking the car manual to see if it had an age limit for kids sitting in the front seat.

We went to Virg's for breakfast, it's a family favorite. HUGE pancakes, but Callahan finished his (Landon too) ... Mom, Keaton and the two little boys all shared two others and that was enough.

Why oh why didn't I plan a birthday party for today? It would have been perfect with the kids out of school and everything. It had been a crazy weekend with multiple basketball games (all for the birthday boy) so I guess that is my excuse. I could see Callahan was getting bored on his birthday, so we rounded up a few friends and I dropped them off at NickelMania. They had fun playing games, winning tickets and exchanging them for prizes.

Then of course it was time for a family birthday dinner ... Red Robin ended up being the choice. The kids enjoyed cheese sticks, fries, chicken, and of course a piece of birthday mudd pie and a chocolate malt.

Here's a look back ...
