We spent Nicholas' birthday weekend in New York with Joe's family and for Nicholas this was the most wonderful birthday present he could have gotten. He also loved all the physical presents and in fact got a little too acquisitive for my tastes, but spending time with his aunts and uncles and grandparents, having Mickey Mouse themed everything, and going to a Mets game were the highlights.
And now, because I am too lazy to write a real post, here is his birthday weekend in pictures and videos:
The cake I made, which required some cosmetic surgery post travel to restore Mickey's face
The decorations that were waiting in New York for him when we arrived:
Do the giggles suggest the boy was having a good birthday?
So many of his presents were "big boy" things, which I didn't realize until he put on his backpack and watch and I felt like he could be going to kindergarten.
The tent Uncle Patrick and Sarah got him was a big hit and is in fact now set up in the middle of his room.
Nicholas did a good job at the Mets game overall. I think he only watched probably a total of 1 inning, spread out over the whole game, but he was entertained enough by putting his cup in the cupholder and squeezing back and forth between the two rows, that he made it through the whole game. And there were airplanes flying overhead, so when he got bored of baseball, he could just watch those.
Then on Monday he got to hang out some more with Grandma Claire:
And go to a Memorial Day parade:
He loved the marching band, but the Memorial Day service that preceded it really upset him because of how loud the gun salutes were.
He had a great weekend, but he was exhausted!
And, as always, there are more pictures in
the Gallery.
Happy Birthday, Nicholas!
Wow - I wish MY birthdays were as exciting as his! Happy Birthday Nicholas!
