Birthdays!

We had a great time celebrating James' birthday.  He chose to bring monster cookies to his class to share and we packaged them up all nice and cute.

He also decided that he wanted a donut tower instead of a cake (like Alex has had for the past few years).  He had a very specific list of what kinds of donuts should be included!

I'm pretty sure he loved each and every one of his gifts.

(money is always a favorite)

(Lego Movie lego set... you can see that his brothers were excited as well!)

(a new basketball of his very own!  James has been obsessed with basketball lately)

(a new fun game)

(you can't see in the picture... but this is a basketball hoop!)

And because you can't take pictures these days without Henry insisting that you need to take a picture of him.

That weekend we continued our celebration with a sports-themed party.

We played a little bit of basketball while we waited for guests to arrive.

James' one request was that we play pin the ball on the athlete.

We opened more gifts from generous friends.

Then we sang "Happy Birthday" and devoured another donut tower.

Rich set up an obstacle course for the boys which was pretty funny to watch.

And finally we played a little game of soccer.

That night Rich and I went out to celebrate his birthday.  We tried out a new, local place: Bob's Ranch House.  It was wonderful!  We loved it.  Sunday we continued our celebration with some chocolate mousse.

It's always a fun, busy birthday week for these birthday boys but we love it!
