Colin's Real Birthday

Colin's real birthday was on Sunday and we kept it really low key. Ben got home that morning from an overnight shift so was exhausted. He slept most of the day but did get up for Colin to open presents and eat dinner & cake. We spent the day at church where they kids sang Happy Birthday to him and then he played with is new toys/legos. For dinner he requested one of his favorites "Stevie's Pasta" recipe from my dad. It is noodles, alfredo sauce, peas, carrots, onions, chicken and bacon all mixed up in one pot.





Honestly, I kinda forgot I'd need another cake for his real birthday so we had to get creative. We decided to make an ice cream sandwich cake topped with chocolate syrup, crushed oreos, whip cream and sprinkels. He was SO excited for it and it was yummy!




Colin was thrilled with his gifts. He got: A pack of drawing sketchpads, a cartoon drawing book, and the Percy Jackson series from his Johnson Grandparents. He was really excited for the drawing stuff and has kept really good care of his "professional" drawing books :) He got a new suit and shoes a Harry Potter book, and an alien lego set from his Hartmann grandparents. Aunt Jess and her boyfriend, Jon, got him a big bean bag chair to read in and some boxes of candy. We got him a new set of scriptures with his name engraved and Ben surprised him with another Harry Potter lego set he found for a great price.
