He woke up at 5:45a.m. (Yes, I said A.M.) and started scouring through the sheets and pillows to find his tooth fairy money. He found and envelope with his name on it and $1.00 inside. (By the way, the tooth fairy is starting to pay big money for teeth. I might pull a few out myself.) Then Sierra said to him, "hey buddy, can you hurry and open your presents before I go to Seminary?" He looked at her and said, "huh"? She said, "it's your birthday", he said, "I GET PRESENTS?" like, RIGHT NOW? - we all started to laugh. I don't know where he thought he was only getting presents from his party because he had been telling me for a month which LEGO's he wanted for his birthday!
And then the big party!
What I failed to mention is that I had been SICK for 2 days and on his birthday, I woke up and my throat was on fire, I had no voice and could not talk. Thank goodness I had done most of the work earlier in the week. So, here are a few of the pcitures from Keller's LEGO Birthday Party! The beauty of having a bunch of little boys at your house? If the party festivities end early, put out a box of LEGO's and they are as happy as they can be. So we played Pin the head on the Lego Minifigure, took turns beating up the Lego City fireman pinata, and had a relay race with lego pieces, then it was time to have cupcakes and ice cream and open presents. Then while we waited for everyone to be picked up, we played with Lego's and colored Lego pictures. I think everyone had fun, especially Derren, because he got to be in charge of his very first birthday party ever. I had no voice and didn't want to get everyone sick so I stood in the background and let him go. I LOVE LETTING MY HUSBAND HAVE THESE LITTLE LIFE EXPERIENCES! He was great and was really tired afterward. hahaha!
So as I look at my Keller, my youngest of three, I was sad to see him so big! As hard as this little guy has been, and HE HAS BEEN HARD! I love the crazy madness he brings to our home and all the boy stuff that he does. I remember like it was yesterday picking up my 5 lb. 18 inches long little guy at the Adoption Agency and holding him for the first time. Now, he is huge and goes to school and I miss having his craziness with me during the day! I LOVE YOU KELLER, you make me proud and you bring joy to our house! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!
