My Sixth Birthday!!!

This morning, Pat woke Aidan up by wishing him a Happy Birthday.  I re-woke him up by singing Happy Birthday to him.  He woke up smiling both times. 

He picked his clothes and his breakfast and after getting dressed and eating, we did his homework for the week.  All with a smile on our faces.  Awesome!!! 

Pat and I met at Winwood this afternoon and brought afternoon snack of Hostess cupcakes for the children to celebrate Aidan's birthday.  I think they all enjoyed it!!  And, while we were there, we discovered that a little boy Aidan was in Daycare with back when he was two--the first place we had him--is now in his Winwood class with him!!!  Cool!!!

And then the fun began!!  We decided to go to Blue Ridge Grill--okay so Mama and Daddy had a little bit of strong arm opinion about it, but Aidan fell in line quickly!--and Aidan ordered a half rack of ribs. . .for the first time ever!!!  and ate it all!!!

What a surprise!  I would never have thought he would order ribs and then he actually ate them all!!!  My baby is really growing up. . .

When we got home, we had cake and then opened presents. I am pretty sure Aidan liked it all!!  First, it was the cake that he loved. . .
