BIRTHDAY BOY on his BIRTH DAY!!

We had a special day planned for Mac! He had wanted to go to Build-A-Bear and even had a bear picked out he wanted to make so that has been part of our plan for his birthday for awhile now. Grandma and Grandpa were willing to come and watch Oak so that we could spend the day with JUST Mac. He woke up to balloons in his room, and next year I will make sure to get more balloons so that it covers his floor.

Opening and playing with his present from Grandma and Grandpa. More Lincoln Logs, which he really needed. He is quite good at building houses with it, if Oak doesn't come and destroy it.

There was lots of playing around with the balloons and Daddy taught Mac how to launch the balloons. Oak loves to rough house so she was all about getting balloons launched into her face.

Mac "helping" Daddy make his cake. He wanted to help, but didn't want to help at the same time. Haha!

On our way to Build-A-Bear.

(Side note: Mac's favorite thing to do when we go places with Daddy is be on is shoulders. This isn't the best picture and I want to get a better one, but I just got an awesome picture of Hubs on his dad's shoulders at about the same age and I am going to frame them together and give to Hubs for Christmas.)

The lady helping Mac make a wish for his bear.

Cleaning off his bear. After he did this, he was done with the whole experience and wouldn't pick out and outfit for it.

Filling out the info for the birth certificate. He named his Camo bear, "Soldier"

We let him eat Cinnabon for lunch. And then we headed to the movies. We went and saw the Smurf movie, which was his choice. We thought it was really cute, but Mac's attention for it wasn't the greatest since it wasn't really a cartoon like his smurf movie at home.

After the movie he wanted a ICEE so we headed to Target. Then we let him pick out his birthday present at Target. He picked out a haunted pirate ship thing for his Thomas the Train track he has at home.

Then we headed home to eat Pizza for dinner. Between pizza and cake Hubs and his parents went to a funeral for a lady in our Ward. So Mac had to patiently wait for them to get back to do cake and presents.

Mac really wanted a chocolate, Monster cake for his birthday. We found some pictures of some online and Mac picked one out that looked similar to this one. Hubs is very creative when it comes to baking and he did such an awesome job with making it cute and fun. Mac LOVED it!

He is so stinkin cute! We put the 4 candle in the the mouth like the monster was eating it. Mac thought that was funny.

Opening presents from every one.

This picture makes me laugh! He was totally pouting!

He had seen a preview on another movie we have for the movie Wall-E a few months ago and has been begging to watch it. I didn't think he would really like it so we have never gotten it for him. For some reason he has been more obsessed with it lately so we decided to break down and get it for him for his birthday. He opened it and wanted to watch it that very second, and we told him he could watch it after we got everyone cake and ice cream to eat. That was not ok with him so he was pouting and throwing a fit over it. haha!

He did get to watch it that night, and he LOVES it! It is actually a cuter movie than I remember it being.

We asked Mac what his "high & low" (something we ask each other when we talk about our day)was for the day and he named off a few things for his "high". When we asked about his "low" he said, "I didn't have a low!" Made my heart happy that we were able to make his birthday a fun day for him.

Also, the rest of the night, after everyone had left, he kept on asking "who else is coming over to give me a present?" It was really funny!

This video is not long after he woke up. We put balloons in his bedroom before he woke up. I just bought one bag of 25 and I should have gotten a few bags because it didn't cover very much of his floor, haha! But he loved it!!






We didn't have a formal/friend birthday party for him this year. But we were able to have both of his grandparents for cake and ice cream. Hubs made the cute cake, Mac wanted a chocolate, monster cake.
