Colin's Birthday

Colin turned 5 on January 13th. We took him to his favorite restaurant "Applebees" for dinner and let him open his presents that morning. Mike and I bought him a scooter and dominoes. The helmet and knee and elbow pads and Legos were from Grandma McCarthy; his Uncle Tim (Mike's brother) sent him a Yoda Might Mug; Aunt Amanda and Uncle Tyler got him a game. Since he was having a party that Saturday, I decided not to make him a cake, but bought a single serving size cake slice at the grocery store (best thing ever for our small family and it was plenty for the 4 of us!). The staff at Applebees sang "Happy Birthday" to him and he got a chocolate sundae for dessert. The next day Grandma and Grandpa Johnson came to visit from Twain Harte and spent the day with us. We went to the Sport's Park and Colin played at the playground and rode his scooter around. Then they took him to Target and bought him the "Moustrap" game. I think Colin just wanted the game for the silver marbles! He had a great 5th birthday.
