Jayce's Birthday: The Golden Edition

Posted on 6:53 AM by Unknown

(Golden, referring to our celebration with Mom and Chelsea, a few of the Goldens. :)

Mom and Chelsea had to go back to Akron about a week before Jayce's 5th birthday, so they wanted to celebrate with him while they were in town.  We planned to celebrate one evening after Jayce got home from school.

Jbirthdayhome 7 2This was slightly confusing to Jayce, who, when I told him that we were going to celebrate that night with Grandma and Chelsea, thought that we were having another party for him.  He wanted to know which of his friends were coming, what the decorations were going to be like, and telling me what he wanted on his cake.  

Then I spent the next few minutes trying to diminish the grand party ideas that had popped into his head without ruining his excitement.  It was a delicate balance.

He did say that he wanted to play a game at his party where we hid his toys around the house and gave him clues about where to find them.  That, I told him, we could do.

And when I went to check on him before bed I found this.   Jbirthdayhome 14 2All of his new toys on their own pillow.  Even the little lego men were all hanging out on the Spiderman puzzle box.  Jbirthdayhome 15 2That's my sweet little guy.
