Grant is 5!!!

I can't believe it - Grant turned 5 yesterday! It seems like we were all just in the hospital in Fairbanks, waiting and waiting for him to come. Looking out the window at the massive snow storm that was settling over the city. Sigh....it goes so fast!

We had a pretty fun, but low key day. Unlike last year, we didn't have a friend party because most of Grant's good friends are in elementary school now. Fridays are also a hard day since the kids are usually wiped out from the week. We are heading to a gymnastics gym/zip line with Grant's good friend Isaac next week.

First thing in the morning the kids found the game table we got for them. It is a great find - foosball, hockey, basketball, chess, backgammon, shuffle board, and a few other games in one. All you have to do is change out the game top. We started out with foosball and that was our morning....tournaments in the playroom. Beckett is having a hard time because he's just a bit too short for the table. He also spins his guys the wrong way so he's always scoring for the other team. :-)

Beckett and I then headed out with Macie so Beckett could pick out a present for Grant. Cap and Grant headed to the sports store to get a few more pieces for the game table. For dinner we went to the superhero restaurant for dinner...always a hit with the kids, not so much with the adults. :-) Cake and presents when we got home. The big hit with the presents was a couple of Paper Jam guitars I found for the kids. We had quite the concert happening last night! Books, rescue hero vehicles, star wars LEGO watch and a kite rounded out the evening.

Grant's big present is a new bike. We decided to wait until today to give it to him since neither of the kids took a nap yesterday and they were so excited over the guitars. I will take some video and pics of the bike and post those later.

 Silly Beckett. He found this truck in the toy bin at the restaurant and just didn't want to put it down. Beckett LOVES trucks!

 Rescue Heroes!

 Grant wanted a vanilla cake, chocolate icing, brown sprinkles and marshmallows on his cake. I added the rocket and smoke to make it a bit more festive.

Happy Birthday Grant!
