Small birthday celebration and off topic story... :)

The other night we celebrated Brady's birthday at home. We had a fun dinner and let him open presents that he got in the mail and also the ones from us.

Birthday crown he got at school (you can still see the remnants of his purple eye)

He got to pick what he wanted to eat for dinner and he picked pizza of course. It was his idea to put the pepperoni in the shape of a 4.

Aaron and I gave him a new booster seat for the car and I've never seen a kid so excited over a car seat! We were going to buy a new booster for him anyway but Aaron suggested we give it to him for his birthday and I thought that idea was kind of lame! But as it is obvious here, he loved it and it was the perfect big gift for him to open!

The reason why I am mentioning this about Aaron is because he has a history of designating gifts that are practical that we were going to buy anyway as a birthday or Christmas present.....ie, I was looking at new shoes while we were black Friday shopping one year and he told me to buy them and they would be my birthday present. Then I needed a new winter coat and he told me that would be my Christmas present.....lame!!! Did I mention that he also bought himself new shoes on that same trip and they were not designated as any kind of present because he just had his birthday 2 weeks before that??? Anyway, I know it's just "stuff" but still, he was just getting himself out of having to think of something else to get for me! I really am not bitter about this, I just think it is funny more than anything else now that I think back to that shopping trip.... :) And he always lets me buy whatever I want for myself anyway so I really have no room to complain!

Ok, how did this post get so off topic??? We are having a bigger family party with cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents later this month when we go back to IL for a visit! More pictures to follow (my mom will be around with her camera so that's a guarantee!).
