Daddy's Birthday

Kevin's birthday was Tuesday. The boys were VERY excited to go shopping for him. Then on the way home we all devised a plan to sneak into the house and wrap the gift. (Seriously.) Kevin told Colin he would have to distract daddy while we sneaked in. Then I pointed out that Colin would be holding his own gift in front of daddy, so Colin told me that I had to distract daddy. There were more details, but it gets the point across.

After the gifts were wrapped, they were hidden until the next morning. Kevin is getting good at hiding things, however Colin doesn't yet grasp the concept. Here is where Colin hid daddy's gift.


Here is daddy opening a pillow pet from Kevin. He picked out a lady bug and named it "cooq." (I love the look on Kevin's face! He is so happy!)


Here is Colin's gift. It is a soft blanket.


Now let me explain the gifts. At first, the boys wanted to get gifts that they wanted for themselves. I reminded them that gifts need to be for the person they are given to. I asked what daddy loves, to which they both yelled "snuggles!" So they both chose gifts having to do with snuggling. Kevin has a classmate that naps with a pillow pet, and he saw how much she likes it, and he wanted to share that with daddy. Colin picked out the blanket and color. Both gifts are on our bed.
