The Birthday Boy and his Night Out.

Oh my goodness how fun it is to get the kiddos out for their birthdays! SO FUN!! Our tradition for them is to take them and only them out for their birthdays for some one on one Uncle Miles and Aunt Jenny treatment! They love it and we love it too! They get dinner out of their choosing and also get to go shopping wherever they want for their birthday gift also of their choosing. My Aunt Sharon and Uncle David used to do this for my brothers and I growing up. We had a blast and always felt so special getting to go out with just them. It is really funny because the kiddos are very vocal…all of them, as if they are liberated from their siblings for a short while and all the attention is on them. They often get quite hyper. Even Alex! The fact that Miles and I do not have kids of out own makes this possible and we claim them as ours and hit the town!

This year Alex decided that McDonalds was going to be his dinner place of choice so we picked him up and off we went. We also went to Target and looked for the perfect gfit. He picked out Gater Golf. It was this huge plastic head of an alligator that comes with balls and mini putters and you put the golf balls into the gater’s mouth. It was very cute. The moment Alex saw its huge plastic head he said “Dis is da one…dis is it! I yove dis one! I Yove it”. Alex was in fine form the entire evening. We passed the sunglasses on our way to the check out and Alex wanted to try on silly ones…lots of different ones! So we all did and took pictures! We must have been such a site. But we had a lot of fun~
