Wyatt's Birthday - #1

Travis doesn't understand why I go crazy for birthdays. He hates his birthday, which I don't understand! Birthdays are special--that's your day! This year Wyatt got to celebrate his birthday twice! Last year I started a new tradition of making birthday shirts. I think they are so cute, and I know that one day Wyatt will out grow these shirts. So, I am taking full advantage of it while he is still young and Mom is still cool!
This year when Wyatt woke up, he was surrounded by birthday balloons, he put on his birthday shirt (I heard him tell Garrett, "She made me a shirt."), and hopped, happily, in the truck with his blue and green sugar cookies to share with his class! A few weeks before his big day, Wyatt told me one day, "Mom, you know what I would do if I was you on my birthday? I would have a big sign that said 'Happy Birthday, Wyatt' so that I could see it outside, and one inside the living room and balloons and decorations." So, with the help of our good friend Lisa, we did our best!
We ate Wyatt's favorite food--hamburgers! And, he was thrilled to have gifts from everyone!
So, thanks from him to Grandma Kris for the money and transformer!; Nanny for the phone call and cash!; Uncle Bryan and Aunt Ashlee for the gift card!; Aunt Keri, Uncle Pete, and Jack for the Spongebob (Garrett's translation: Bobby Squarepants) birthday card game!; and Lisa's help making the cake and decorating! Thanks for making it the best day ever!

Is this an excited look or an-I'm-crazy-for-cake-and-sprinkles-look?


Make a wish!!

What a cute story! And making him a shirt is such a good idea. It makes it that much more special. I agree with you sister, birthdays should be cool and you always knowck the ball out of the park in that regard.
