Happy 5th Birthday Max!

Max celebrated his 5th birthday on November 8.  He is sooooo happy to be 5!  He got a new twin bed with mario sheets and blanket as his birthday gift from us.  He loves sleeping in his big bed and rearranged room.  On the actual day he had a day of eating out.  Jason took him to Bob Evans for breakfast where he got macaroni and cheese and a chocolate chip cookie.  I took him to lunch at Wendy's.  Then we all took him out for dinner to California Tortilla followed by Yogi Castle for dessert.   All his favorite places - he was a happy boy!  Then, the Saturday after his birthday we had his party at Chuck E Cheese with family and friends.  He played games, played in the play area, ate pizza and cake, and even got to go in the ticket blaster to collect extra tickets.  He had a great time and kept saying "Isn't this just the best day ever?!" 

Harvest Festival

Last night we went to the Harvest Festival.  We've gone every year for the past 4 years.  Church of the Redeemer hosts this annual event at the Germantown Soccerplex.  Kyle went as a ninja again this year and Max was James the train.  It's always very crowded, but the boys had a great time.  They play lots of fun games for candy prizes and there were many bouncy slides to play on as well.  They each filled up their buckets in about an hour and a half and then we headed home. 

Kyle's School Halloween Party

Yesterday, we went to Kyle's school in the afternoon for his annual Halloween parade and party.  Max was thrilled to be a part of this day.  The kids had a parade outside the school to show off their costumes.  Then they returned to their classrooms for a party.  The kids had pizza, cupcakes, donuts, and cookies.  They also got to make goodie bags, play limbo, and dance.  They had a great time!
