These next few posts I'm going to be playing catch up.
Lincoln had a birthday! The big 05. I can't believe it. And his birthday was a crazy day indeed. I was supposed to get everything ready on Thursday, the day before his birthday, so that when Friday came around all we would have to do is celebrate. But then Ivan got sick, and puked all over my entire house all day long on Thursday. So, no only did I not get anything done, but the whole house needed to be disinfected. I had an emotional, pregnant-lady break down, and Aaron stayed home Friday morning to help me get things sorted out.
Aaron made the cake, a rocket ship, which I thought turned out amazing.
We had a lot of people over for birthday dinner, because almost everyone on Aaron's side of the family happened to be in town. So Lisa and Jared and their four kids came, as well as Kelly and Esther and their son Asher, and Ryan and Melissa, and Grandma and Grandpa Swan. Of course, Lincoln didn't want anything easy that I could throw in the crock pot...he wanted breaded chicken and rice and corn on the cob for his birthday dinner. It turned out delicious though, and I think with all the salads and rolls that people brought to go with, that no one left hungry.
After dinner we opened presents. Lincoln got Legos. The normal sized ones, and he got lots of them. :) And he was thrilled about it. They kept him entertained ever since.
At some point when life settles down a hair, we are also going to take Lincoln and Ivan to see Brave, as part of the belated birthday celebration. None of our kids have ever been to a theater yet, and we thought it would be a fun experience for them. We'll see when we get around to it though.
Happy Birthday Lincoln! I love you so much, I'm glad to be your mom, and I'm glad we've gotten to keep you around for five whole years!
