In the days leading up to Lincoln's birthday he would tell
people: "My birthday is coming over!" On the day of his
birthday he was super excited to have balloons and the sign we made especially
for him, he kept bringing me over to the sign and pointing out the pictures the
kids had drawn and the letters on it etc... When we left the house he told me
his birthday was at home. So cute. He helped me make his cake and
wasn't really happy that the diggers I put on it weren't for him to play with
immediately. In fact he was more excited about "digging" the
cake when the time came than blowing out the candles. That's Lincoln for
you.
We decided to use Lincoln's birthday as a good excuse to christen the deck and fire pit. We invited some families over to cook smores, eat cake and celebrate Lincoln's birth. We even made homemade root beer. I was really excited for the root beer...so yummy and reminds me of home.
Happy Birthday my sweet baby Lincoln. You make our family complete.

| -This was the star present of the night. He wouldn't open anything else, we really had to save the rest of the presents for the next day. |
