Jay's Birthday

Jay wanted a Pokemon cake.  I couldn't find one and hoped that this one would do.  Thankfully he loved it!  

 Having a birthday a week before Christmas can be difficult for parties.  We discussed with Jay that we would have a family birthday party and then in January we will have a party for him with all of his friends.  I was asked to work in Brooks, Alberta from December 15 to 18, and Jay thought it would be fun to stay at a hotel with a waterslide for his birthday.  He planned for his Birthday lunch at McDonald's and Brooks has  a great playplace.  Uncle Jason drove down for the party as well and was the official photographer in the playplace.

 As per usual, Brooks McDonald's was an adventure in and of itself!  The boys had lots of fun though.  They got Alvin toys from Alvin and the Chipmunks.  They all got Alvin's with surfboards.  The boys took Alvin to the pool later and sadly we didn't have the camera to prove it, but Alvin surfed nicely all the way down the waterslide!

"Helping" Jay open presents - why do kids think that everybody needs help?

Trying out the new game from Uncle Jason.

The new game turned into a mess of whacking!

 The boys love when Uncle Jason comes to visit as he always bring fun games and plays with them.  He went down the waterslide too many times to count, and Sunday morning after I had been up from 2-5 at the hospital he helped Clarke downstairs at the breakfast buffet wrangling the boys while I had a shower and tried to pack up our stuff.

Jay was obviously tired based on this position he fell asleep in!
