Max's Birthday Parties

Party #1 Thursday

We had originally planned to have Logan and Korben over for a sleepover but when Erika had her baby Kate and I decided to head to Rexburg for a quick visit. Max was so disappointed that he wouldn't be having a sleepover or have his cousins over for a party.

I turned to the queen of spontaneity Kate, and with her help threw together a party. We met at Cold Stone for ice cream. Kate brought a small brownie cake and a number 8 candle. We sang Happy Birthday to him and he blew out his candle. Logan and Korben gave him the new Peanuts movie that came with a little stuffed Snoopy. Logan was very excited for him to open it and kept saying "you'll see that it is even better than getting a real puppy."

Max said, "Mom, this is my best birthday EVER!"

Party #2 Saturday

Saturday morning while they waited to pick me up, James took Max to pick out scriptures with his name on them. He picked out a triple combination, the color and the font for his name.

As soon as I arrived home from Rexburg I started decorating the cake. Max didn't want to wait for it to be a surprise and was so excited to decorate his cake to so he helped ice the cake, place the candles and trucks, crush the Oreos and pour them on. He was so proud of the finished cake.

He has wanted some way to take his puppies on rides on his bike and scooter.
The bike basket was perfect!

Party #3 Sunday

On Sunday, his actual birthday he opened the present that Zane picked out for him; a Paw Patrol Everest puppy.

Max said again and again that it was his best birthday ever!

That afternoon we headed out to explore Black Rock Beach....
