His birthday celebration began at home on Monday. He woke up to balloons and a present waiting for him in the living room. Squealing with delight he riped open his gift to discover a basketball hoop. I think he liked it, especially when Alex plays with him wearing their Blazers shirts and watching a Blazers game. I love when his little voice yells "Go Bazers":) Such a fan.
He has a major sweet tooth, so I spoiled him with hot chocolate topped with whip cream for a breakfast treat and a scoop of strawberry ice cream after lunch. After dinner we sang "Happy Birthday" along with our WA family via Skype and then Julian blew out his three candles (something he has been looking forward to since probably his last birthday, the child loves to blow out candles). So of course after dinner we had birthday cake. Lots of sugar, I know!
On Tuesday, the day after Julian's birthday we went to Playdate PDX to celebrate his birthday with Julian's buddies (and their mom's). The kids had a blast and Julian was all smiles the entire time. The cutest moment that I witnessed was when Julian saw Max (his cousin) and said, "Max, I so happy to see you" and then they both jumped up and down and hugged. It's sweet how much they love each other:)
