On the 10th we celebrated Weston's birthday. When Mark got home from work that morning we let him open his presents. He got a tricycle this year and it was definitely his favorite present! We're working on teaching him to pedal but he just doesn't really care right now.
Poor Saydi had a rough day being told "no" a lot as she kept trying to steal Weston's bike or other presents. This was one way we kept her happy.
Wrapped up in his blanket that Grammy made him. He has a matching pillow and he loves them both!
Daddy got some much needed rest while we played and decorated the house and then we had Weston's favorite dinner -shepherd's pie - and ate cake. I attempted to make him a football cake this year and it completely fell apart. Weston didn't seem to care and as I heard him utter a breathy "wow" when he saw his cake it was totally worth it.
Weston is such a shy boy and as we started singing "Happy Birthday" to him he just couldn't handle being the center of attention. He managed to blow his candles out all on his own though!
After cake we loaded up and headed out for our annual tradition of looking at lights on Weston's birthday. First we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's though where Wes got totally spoiled with this awesome puzzle thing that mommy loves because the trucks don't come off the board, you just move them around; he also got a super bright flashlight (thanks dad) =/ and this zip up sweater that has Doc and Lightning McQueen on it. At first he wouldn't try on his sweater but then he saw who was on it and he decided he loved it. Grandma and Grandpa always seem to find good deals and spoil their grandkids!
After we left there we went to that house off Iona Rd. that has the lights synchronized to Christmas music. The kids loved it but they did get a little stir crazy. They loved looking at all the other lights too though. Especially because they're usually in bed by dark so they don't see the lights very much! All in all it was a fun day and I think Weston really enjoyed his birthday!
