More Monkeying Around!





















On Max’s actual birthday, we gave him our gifts. Alexis gave him a bowling activity rug. Mommy and Daddy gave him an r/c car that lights up, and some hex bugs. Darrell also converted our old kitchen table into a train table. We put his track together and put fresh batteries in his trains. We finished it off by putting a Percy pillow pet on top as a "bow". The rug and car were probably the favorites (so much for all the effort to make a cool train table!) After presents, Darrell made eggs and bacon. We topped breakfast off with donuts covered in sprinkles. Mmm! After breakfast, we spent time playing with Max’s new toys together. Next, we continued the monkey business at Monkey Joe’s for Max’s birthday buddy’s party. Because Max called and recited his Cubbies Bible verse to Uncle Ted (after several tries), he was allowed to skip Cubbies. Max and I used that time to have a date at McDonald's. We had a great time eating dinner together. We talked and giggled and just really enjoyed some long over due one-on-one! At bed time we snuggled and recounted the birthday weekend events!
