This is the way we Celebrate, Celebrate, Celebrate!!

We had a great day celebrating Tex's birthday. I of course took a million photos. So, if you want to see 'em click the links. We decided to just spend the day as a family, enjoying each others company, and doing things that Tex would enjoy.

The morning
In the morning before we left, Tex enjoyed a ecard for breakfast, and Eden made herself a delicious sandwich! And what else would a 2 year old put on a sandwich besides: Peanut butter, frosting, and sprinkles? Mom made her add bananas. ;-)

Our Faux family dog
It was fun having a "faux family dog" for a few hours at the humaine society. Jonathon had a great idea to take the kids down. Both kids LOVE animals. If we could have a dog at our place...We totally would have taken this one home. He was so sweet and the perfect mix of playful yet relaxed. And he was excelent with the kids especially patient with Tex's crazy way arms! ;-) I think I was his favorite. Whenever he needed a break, he ran over to sit on my lap. It was so cute. His name was Astro, but Eden called him "Osco". We deicded we really like that name, so we'll probably use it when we finally do get our family dog.

Photo Shoot with Mamma
Also, while there, Eden went to the Kitty room to play with the kitties with her Dad. I took her into the cat room a few moments before, and sadly she was attacked by one of the cats. She got a pretty bad scratch on her leg. But, in true Eden fashion...she was back in that kitty room as soon as her band aid was on.
While they were in the kitty room, Tex and I enjoyed the outdoors and had a little birthday photo shoot!http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=400558&id=677155160&l=5eefac1f1d

Costco!
After, we headed out for lunch and a treat. And what better place to get delicious junk food...but Costco!!! When we arrived Tex was sleeping in the back, so we let him snooze a bit. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=400544&id=677155160&l=f3096d2f48

Cake at Chuck E Cheese
We decided to let the kids have a good time at Chuck E Cheese with the Birthday money from G-ma and G-pa. Before going there, we spent a good 2 hours driving around trying to find shoes that would fit Tex's chubby feet. So, we thought they deserved somewhere fun to get their wiggles out! Eden pretty much thinks that Chuck E is the Super Star of all super stars. Tex had a good time meeting him too. Eden also ran up to all the other singing characters to say hi, give them hugs and kisses. It was funny because she would walk to one after the other and say, "Hi! You don't talk too?" It was fun watching Tex eat his cake. He didn't dive into it like I thought he was going to. He approached it much more cautiously. I don't think he ever even touched it with his own hands. He just ate it out of mine...literally. It was pretty cute. Definitely was a good time!!
