BRUNCH:
Leo's birthday is especially happy for our Grandparents! Grandma Z shares Leo's birthday, and Grandma and Grandpa P. have their anniversary right around then too! We ALWAYS celebrate Leo's and Grandma Z's birthday with a special birthday brunch! For this year's menu-(which was brunch at dinnertime the Sunday before Leo's birthday) is listed below:
Coffee Cake (Birthday cake) :)
Bacon
Maple Apple Sausage
Fruit
Granola
Cafe' Eggs
Orange Juice
Milk
Smoothies
It was a SCRRRRRRRRRR-UMPTIOUS (:D) meal and we ended with a nice evening together and presents. Leo got even more excited about his real birthday-which was yet to come...
REAL BIRTHDAY:
We all were excited for the party in the evening! We got all ready for the party, setting the table, putting out Mom's surprise flowers from Dad (<3), Dad leaving work early for a last minute birthday shopping spree and a messy round of face painting. We all were excited when Dad walked in with his arms full of Tomatoes Pizza. The birthday party was ready to begin! Leo's special birthday pizza order was Shrimp Portafino-which he always envied Mom getting with Uncle A! We got some other types of pizza too. We all ate ravenously and enjoyed root-beer as our special drink with dinner. Then we sang happy birthday as I brought out the cake. It is always a mad rush in our house to get the cake to the table before either the candles burn out or the wax drips onto the cake. Then everyone breathes easier as we wait, anticipating thick slices of ice cream cake-(w/ lots of frosting of COURSE...) We had an irresistible ice cream cake longing the night before, and so we ate some of cake the night before-but it tasted better-everyone declared-the day after! :)
After the smaller presents, Dad went out to the car for the present that he had just picked up at Walmart. Leo's mouth literally dropped as Dad pulled up a BRAND NEW MOUNTAIN BIKE!!! into the dining room. He didn't even move as Dad brought it in. I was chiding myself that I didn't have my camera-the look on his face was picture-perfect! I had my arms full of Miss Filia! But, everyone declared the evening a success, and it ended with anticipations of the tooth fairy coming, because Rus had lost his first tooth!!
So-we all wish you a very, very-
HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY LEO!!!!!
Here are the pics-ENJOY.... :D
