Corey's Birthday, Recap

Corey certainly had a very happy birthday! He brought cupcakes to school to share with his friends and got all happy faces today.

Not surprisingly, we immediately proceeded to play hockey in the backyard after school.

Dinner was at Johnny Rockets at the new shopping mall and Corey had a pretzel for dessert. Both boys loved sharing our onion rings (but only without the onions)! Corey also opened his presents and was thrilled about an "I Spy" game for his Leap Pad and Jayhawk book from Nana and Papa, an "I Spy" 3D game from Grammy and Grandpa, a book from Kristin and John about being a hockey player when he grows up (that Corey probably will be able to read by himself in no time) and the Hockey Guys set from Melinda and Gary. Kristin's "Hockey Guys" have been returned to Kazoo Toys in exchange for "Baseball Guys" ... long story, don't ask.

When we got home Carrie put Brody to bed (and promptly went to bed herself in an effort to fight off an impending virus) and Corey and I played "Hockey Guys." The Minnesota Gophers beat the Yale Bulldogs in a shootout!

Another great day, another great birthday for a great kid!

P.S. In case you haven't heard, Brody "refused" to have his picture taken for picture day at daycare (which probably means he violently shook his head non-stop). But tonight he was saying, "Cheese" when I tried to take his picture. Go figure.

Corey's Cubs shirt looks great - it was way too big when I first gave it to him! :) I'm glad Corey had a great birthday - I can't wait to see everyone next week!!

Love,
Cool Kristin
