While the other two minis had specific asks for their days, the oldest kept it simple for me. He had a friend spend the night, built Legos, had a burger bar for his birthday dinner, and requested the Birthday Box from Molly's cupcakes. All of that was easily granted and loved.
It's tradition around here to do a night before the birthday pictures. The oldest was having none of it at first, so I snapped a few while he laid in bed. After twenty minutes he came out of his room, sat on the couch, and told me to snap a few good pictures instead of the ones in bed. I'm partial to both because they're a testament to his personality.
A little action for the day: there was an injured bunny in the backyard. Two boys had to safely remove it but not before the kids made a spectacle about it and the dog put it in his mouth, promptly dropping it at a child's feet when I shrieked. The birthday boy was oblivious to it all because he was inside building his Legos.
Birthday lunch: quesadillas, rice with black beans, corn, chips and salsa. The cupcakes were delivered just in time for dessert after lunch! The oldest loves Molly's Cupcakes, especially the birthday box.
