Isaac's birthday

Friday morning Isaac woke to the happy news that he was already 9 years old!  He was my earliest arriving baby - right after 5am on March 16th!

We love Isaac and we loved celebrating his special day!

His breakfast request was roll-up pancakes with strawberries and bananas.  It looks like a breakfast taco (and tacos was his dinner request!)

Mid-morning the girls snuck out of the house to go purchase this gift!  They were so excited to be giving this turtle and had been eager to bring one home but I convinced them to wait until the last minute.  "Girls, where are you going to hide a turtle anyways??"  Isaac was thrilled!  The yet-to-be-named turtle has taken up residence on Isaac's school desk ;)

We also squeezed a little cake baking into our morning routine - green batter, black and green icing.  He is still a UND fan, even from afar!

After dinner cupcakes and candles with our oldest son, who brings much joy!

And wow was he excited to receive this game - so we cleaned up the table and started playing :)

I had an evening meeting to run off to, so left Matt home with the kiddos engrossed in Pandemic!  And the birthday lunch date with Dad got moved to Saturday but these two are so fun to watch as they leave on their bikes for a manly lunch - ribs!
