BirthDAY

The morning of Sebastien's birthday was so fun. We continued the tradition of decorating the house with a lot of balloons, streamers and presents. He was so excited for his birthday the minute he woke up and couldn't wait to go downstairs to find "lots of presents" as he said.

He stopped at the bottom of the stairs for a quick picture.

Here he is checking out all of the balloons. He was so excited at this point and had not even seen the kitchen yet.

Checking out his presents and other decorations. We did a "Cars" theme this year so I used all of the boys Cars characters to help decorate the table. You can see Manti's little hand at the bottom of the picture reaching for a car.

We also have a tradition of getting birthday donuts. I had to babysit that morning so daddy took the birthday boy to get donuts while Manti and I stayed home waiting for the kids. As you can see, Manti had a great time playing with Sebastien's new toys while he was out with daddy.

He wore his birthday crown to get donuts and loved all the attention he got. Here he is enjoying his donuts. It was a great start for a fun and exciting birthday.

I let Sebastien choose what he wanted to do for lunch and of course he chose McDonald's. Sometimes I feel it is such a waste of money because they never EAT! Getting them to eat was a challenge, there was some compromising involved but then they were off. We all know the only reason they like to go there is to play. I didn't take any pictures of them playing, it was enough work trying to keep track of them.

He was like this all day, a smile glued to his face. He was just so happy it was HIS birthday!

Showing me how old he is now.

I caught Manti in between bites, he doesn't look too happy here. Probably because he just wanted to play.

After a long day of daddy being at work, he finally came home and Sebastien got to open his presents. He was so excited and didn't waste any time getting the paper off. He got a couple of puzzles, a Cars "look and find" book and a new hot wheels track with cars.

In Sebastien's words "This puzzle is HUGE!"

Opening his presents...Manti is checking out his new book and Sebastien couldn't wait to do his new puzzle.

I caught him in his birthday crown. (I made him wear it while he opened presents.)

After dinner and presents, we went over to our friends house to celebrate him completing his MBA. We are so excited for them and all of their accomplishments.

Three of my boys favorite "Cheyenne" people!

They even sang happy birthday to Sebastien and had cupcakes. The boys LOVED them!

He is always so great at playing with our boys. Not to mention all the other kids that were at their house.

Manti looks a little scary in this picture and Sebastien was having a blast being pulled across the floor. Thank you for wearing the boys out!

Sebastien had the best day ever and was so worn out. Now to prepare for the birthday party...
