The Best Day Ever

4/9/2009

It's Daniel's birthday!!!!! He is now 5 years old. What a great day he had! At preschool, he got to hunt for Easter eggs, had an Easter party, and shared birthday cupcakes with his teachers and friends. School even got out early!

But the day wasn't anywhere near to being over. There was still lots of celebrating to do when Mommy came home from work.

After a yummy dinner of chicken nuggets, sweet corn, and fried apples, it was time to open presents then eat some cake.

Daniel received several presents--a new shirt and pair of shorts, new pajamas, a Lightning McQueen clock (to let him know when it's time to get up for school) and a Speed Racer lamp.

Here is Daniel, getting ready to open presents.

Daniel and Raelee sang some songs for entertainment purposes. Here are they doing a rendition of "Popcorn Popping." They are just too cute to watch!

After singing, Daniel opened up all his presents. He was super excited for each gift. Even the pajamas were a hit!

We then sang "Happy Birtday" to Daniel. He picked out his own cake--lots of ballons and white super sugary icing!

Note Raelee trying to get out of being in this picture!!

Clean-up time after the party. Cake crumbs can be a little messy! After all was said and done, Daniel came up to me and declared, "This was the best day ever!!!!!"
