More birthday celebrations

Yes, there is more.
Parker's birthday extravaganza continues!:)
The day after his actual birthday and Boondocks outing, we took the kids to see Cars 2. We weren't all that impressed with the movie itself but it was still fun to go out with the kiddos.
The next day - Sunday, we went over to the
Hansens to celebrate Parker's birthday with them....

Since he'd already had chocolate cake on his birthday, his requested birthday treat for this night was rice krispie treats (yep I forgot to bring the candle), chocolate chocolate cookies, and ice cream was even thrown into the mix via Grandma and Grandpa.

Chris' parents had just returned from a 3 week vacation to Europe, so we were able to watch a slide show (via the big screen) and hear all about their fun European adventures.

Parker got some fun gifts! His Aunties and uncles gave him a marble madness set, and with his new-found love for "swimming", he is now all set for snorkeling!
We sure miss Grandma Jane & Grandpa Reed's old swimming pool these days! ;)

The following Sunday we were off to celebrate yet again with my Dad and Grandma!
My cute Grandma - Mimi - was in a pretty bad car accident the very beginning of July (thanks to a woman running a stop sign). After surgery and spending several weeks in the hospital, she finally came home recently with a badly broken ankle, a wheelchair, and round the clock nursing care (for 6 more weeks!). We're so glad that she is okay though and grateful we could celebrate Parker's birthday with her! We had a really fun night and the kid's especially loved the traditional candy bar game (go ahead and call it junk food game) and came home with quite the loot. It always takes us months to finish off all the treats when we play this!
(and just FYI that picture is before starting the game, not Parker's winnings!)

As you can see, Parker was really spoiled with all the fun presents! I can honestly say he's loved playing with each and every one of these items this last week!
This little guy is so loved and we sure appreciate everyone making his 5th birthday so special!
