Max turned eight and he was very excited about his birthday. It's crazy how fast time goes. I always look back at that day that he made me a mom. How he came into this world 10 weeks early and scared the crap out of us. He has been nothing but joy in our family and I truly love spending as much time as I can with him because before I know it he will be a teenager and will only want to hang out with his friends.
With that said, I like to do anything I can to make his birthday extra special. I may even go over the top a little, but he deserves it. I did the annual balloons covering his bedroom door. Now that he's older I added even more balloons to make it a little harder to get out.
Just for fun, I did a yard sign from Card my Yard. They come out and stake the sign for you and will return a couple days later to remove the yard sign. Since we are in AZ and the ground is super hard we had to water the area for 12 hours prior to their arrival so they could actually get the sign in the ground. Max was a little embarrassed by this because he didn't think everyone in the neighborhood needed to know it was his birthday. I think it was a fun idea though and I truly believed he loved the sign.
This little foodie revolved his day around what we were going to eat for each meal. We started the morning off with IHOP for breakfast and a surprise trampoline gift. Zoe loves the trampoline too. She jumped up right away and was jumping around like crazy. I think she likes the extra space that his small trampoline did not have.
For lunch, Max requested his favorite, Chipotle, and then for dinner, he experienced hibachi for the first time. He thought this was pretty cool and wants to do it again. For the record, he did not catch the flying shrimp, but maybe next time.
We ended the day with presents and him blowing out the candle on his blizzard because he really does not like cake.
