Birthday Afternoon!

After JD's nap (yes, even birthday boys have to take a nap!), he sat on the floor in his mama and daddy's room and read the "Hello Buzz!" book that JD Sr gave him for his birthday. It's a children's book about the Georgia Tech mascot's adventures at Georgia Tech. JD is enjoying his new book very much!

JD Sr was able to leave work a little early on JD's birthday, so we decided to return to the mall and ride the carousel. Upon first arriving, they were STILL closed, so we treated JD to some M&M's and let him visit the virtual FX area in the mall where he waited patiently with a chocolate covered mouth for the snow and bubbles to fall all around him. Just when we were getting ready to head home for dinner, the carousel was open and JD got to take a ride after all.

I asked him to tell me what he wanted for his birthday dinner, and without hesitating for a moment, said, "Macaroni and Cheese!" (no surprise there!) After dinner, he was allowed to stay up a little past his bedtime so that he could have some strawberry cheesecake (another of his favorites) and then it was upstairs to bed for the birthday boy.

We had a great day and are looking forward to his party with family and friends in a couple of weeks!
