| Ian making a wish on his Penguin cake. |
His theme was Penguins of Madagascar and we had paratroopers and glider planes for the kids to practice their "top secret mission" with. But, when Uncle Mike and Aunt Anh began making balloon swords - that took the cake! The boys wouldn't put them down.
I can't even put into words how excited my son was during his entire birthday party. He didn't just get loud...he literally screamed every word he said. And I have never seen a child so excited for each and every present (or "surprise" as he called them) he opened. He was so precious, too, that he immediately said 'thank you' to the giver of the gift. And after the party he would ask, "Who gave me (blank)?" and then he'd go up to that person and hug them and tell them thank you. It was so cute. He was so appreciative for everything and everyone there.
The excitement continued well into the night. He couldn't settle down and ended up not getting much sleep Saturday night. Sunday he actually fell asleep on Mark's lap during the church service and slept through the entire sermon and some of the worship music. He was exhausted. And yet, he didn't nap Sunday afternoon. He was so fascinated by his new toys that his brain wouldn't slow down.

| Sword fight! |
The Thursday prior to his party was his actual birthday and, of course, I get very sentimental around his actual birthday. Both kids' births were quite eventful and memorable in their own ways. And I praise God for each child He gave to us.
