Max's Birthday

One thing that I really think is important is to celebrate birthdays. I don't mean crazy party celebrate, but just make the person feel extra special that day. Unfortunately, Max's birthday sometimes comes at a stinky time. Last year we were in the middle of traveling (to Disneyland, though, so that made it somewhat okay) and this year we were moving. So, I don't think the kid has had a birthday party in forever! mom guilt... But, still we try to make him feel the love all day. Zoey is good with it too. Days leading up to his birthday, we traveled around Denver to visit any and all unique toy stores. Based on what he was interested in, we picked up fun presents while he wasn't looking! Anyway, we made the best of the day, a day filled with "Max Likes"


Waking the birthday boy up!!


he wasn't quite ready to get out of bed, so he played some Angry Birds!


First stop: Panera Bread for breakfast. Max took over the camera to get pictures of us...






here is our birthday boy! Happy 9!! years old, buddy!!


Max took this one of Zoey too, and it is blurry but I like it.



Zoey wrapped up the presents early on, so he was eagerly waiting and waiting to open them. We said he could open them after breakfast...







Digging in!


Zoey bought Max a Boo dog. He was excited...






And from his Aunt Bree and fam, he got balloons filled with money and treats!


We were in Denver with Grandma Bette and Grandpa Bob for his actually birthday. He wanted to go to Dave and Busters for dinner and games later that evening and everyone had a good time. He also got presents and fun when we went to my parents house in Arizona and also Las Vegas, so no big party, but lots of family love.:)
