Coleman had a fantastic birthday! He had some requests for us. He wanted us to decorate crazily. He wanted us to use all the streamers we had (which was a lot since I just bought a new pack of them off Amazon.) We didn't use them all, but we used a ton.
Jordan decorated outside of his door.
He also decorated the stairs. He did it before we were finished decorating downstairs so we had to crawl up the stairs to avoid knocking the streamers down.
The downstairs.
Doug even decorated the the stairs going to the basement.
Coleman played Skylanders in the morning.
Another request was that we make a scavenger hunt for him to find his presents. The first clue was on his letter we left on the table for him to find in the morning. It led if to his bedroom.
Then laundry room to find Pokemon cards.
Kenzie gave Colie a giant squishy. He named it Pickles.
Two of his presents showed up late but luckily I had bought him some Pirate Booty and his that instead.
More Pokemon
He got birthday cards from Grandma and Grandpa Dance and Aunt Lori.
One of his late presents showed up that morning. He was excited to open it.
It was a contraptions set. We have one, but he wanted another because many of the pieces broke.
I made him Applebees for lunch.
For the past 3 months Coleman has been hoping that quarantine would be over by his birthday so he could celebrate by doing something fun. Quarantine isn't really over, but things are open so we were able to go to the Family Fun Center to play miniature golf.
We didn't keep track of all our strokes, instead we just gave a point to whoever won the hole. If there was a tie, than no one would get any points.
Most holes no one got any points. But in the end Jackson and I tied with 2 points each. He won Rock, Paper, Scissors, so he ended up winning the day :)
Coleman did the batting cages there too. It was tricky because the ball was coming in high enough for an adult to hit it. So he had a hard time reaching it.
He also got to play the ball grabber. He could play until he won.
He was happy to get a yellow and orange ball.
The boys played Germs.io together.
We had his family party that night. We had Little Caesars for dinner. Then he opened presents.
He got lots of fun things and yummy treats!
He wanted powdered donuts for his treat.
Happy Birthday!
After donuts Jordan and Grandpa played chess. We also had played Scum before desserts and at some point in the night Coleman did some of the experiments from his new science kits.
That night we finally watched the 3rd Star Wars. Cam slept over and watched it with us too.
We watched it soooooooooo happily!!!!!!! (Coleman added this comment :))
