One of my favorite days of the year is March 5th, when it's time to celebrate Michael's birthday. It's fun to plan special things and eat lots of cake! Michael began training for his new job on his actual birthday, so we spread the celebration over a few days, which was alright with him!
On the Saturday before his birthday, I took him on a scavenger hunt to find his gift that was from all parents and grandparents; his new iPad! It was fun watching him find the clues and try and guess what the gift was!

| Next stop: Yogurtville!! |
 |
| Reading the next clue! |
 |
| All the clues that led to his iPad! |
Then on Sunday, the day before his birthday, my parents came into town and we went to lunch, then to Adventure Landing, to see a movie, and then to Eno's Pizza for dinner and cake!

Michael was gone for 2 weeks for training and his brother Jonathan and sister Grace were gone on mission trips, so we waited until his whole family was back together to celebrate! We had dinner, more cake, and a family game night! It was a great few days of celebrating; Michael deserves to be celebrated every single day of the year!
