Yesterday we were so blessed to be able to celebrate Stephen's birthday on his actual day this year. So he woke up to a special breakfast and family gifts, went to coffee with Pawpaw and Manah, and then came home so we could get ready for his party in the afternoon, which was Mario themed (take 2...we did Mario 2 years ago! But I changed things up a bit this time). See an obsession here?
 |
| He is so sweet and thankful. Being very generous himself, he is always so thankful for anything the others give him. Melts a Momma's heart. ;) |
 |
| New boots from Lito and Lita! |
 |
| A Goomba Photo Op (these took much longer to make than I expected! So glad I started early...Allia is usually such a great helper with decorations and such, but she was sick that day!) |
 |
| Our first game was the Goomba stomp. It was loud and wild, perfect for boys! |
 |
| Next up was Mario Bingo...a little quieter |
 |
| The girls and I made Yoshi confetti eggs. First we had a hunt with a prize for finding the most. Then we evened things out and let them crack away! |
 |
| Cecilia wasn't so sure about the confetti |
 |
| "Happy Birthday!" |
 |
| He received some really cool gifts including this Star Wars Lego set, which one of the givers assured me had some very rare pieces in it. ;) |
 |
| He also received binoculars with an explorer book and a shark mold set with a light up pull-string frisbee! |
 |
| I was happy to see him enjoying the book later that evening |
Our Stephen is so generous, a good student, very attentive to rules/obedience, a good helper around the house and becoming a great swimmer. He also has quite the tender spot for Cecilia. He may be a little too into video games, but we are working on that...We are so thankful for our sweet boy!
