Cole's Birthday Weekend

We kicked off Cole's birthday weekend by celebrating with the family on Saturday night. Jim's family made the long drive from Southern California to be with him on his special day. I made dinner for everyone and we had cake and opened presents. Unforunately it was pouring rain (and I mean pouring rain) all weekend so we had to change his birthday party on Sunday from the park to Chuck E. Cheese. I was thankful they still had an opening on the same day at about the same time and Cole was very excited. It worked out great and they had plenty of entertainment to keep the kids busy on a cold and rainy day. Cole had a wonderful birthday and thank you to all of our friends and family who joined us!

By far my FAVORITE picture from the night. If you could have seen the excitement on his face once he was inside.

Olivia standing close by wondering what the heck was going on:-)
 

Jim told Cole his technique for catching the most tickets was to lift up his shirt and let the tickets blow inside. It must have worked because they got over 1300 tickets!
 
Go! Go! Go!
