HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODA!

We wanted to make sure that Coda had an extra special birthday this year. I went out on the night before and bought balloons and decorations, and a few presents. I don't think Coda would have remember it was his birthday, except for the fact I kept telling him. I made a cake and left in on the stove but he never noticed it. So then I decided to be a mean mom and tell him that we had forgot his birthday. I also told him we forgot to buy him his presents. Surprizingly, it didn't really even face him. He just said, "we can go to the store." He did, however, request a Spiderman cake.

I thought it turned out okay for my first time decorating. It doesn't matter how ugly the take. With the look on his face, I knew Coda was very pleased.

We did a treasure hunt around the apartment. The treasure was a bunch of fruit snacks, squeeze-its, some Spiderman toys and stickers, some gold fish, things that would eventually get eaten rather than thrown away. Afterwards he blew out his candles and opened presents. We bought him a Yahtzee Jr. Game, (seeing that Coda and Grandpa M couldn't get enough of dice rolling). We also got him the Walle Leapster game, but the thing he was most excited about was a Yo-Yo, that was exactly like Hunters.

I couldn't have got a better shot of his excitement!

"When 10 years comes, I will be 10!"
