Austin woke up all smiles this morning! He had a hard time falling asleep last night because he knew it would be his birthday in the morning.
We took Austin out to buy a new baseball glove and he was thrilled with his new pair of shoes!!!!
His friend and cousin, Colson, stopped in and said happy birthday!
Colson gave this sling toy!
And let me just talk about these two for a minute!!!! They are each other's best friends! They really do play so nice together and mostly Austin does everything Ashlyn comes up with! I think it's adorable because she does things he likes too! Anything for a playmate! They love to jump together on the trampoline! They chase around the six kittens that are up for sale! They hunt the chicken eggs together! Ride bike, ride scooter and jeep together! It's just darling to watch them in the garden picking chives and kale and munching as they go! So much of them reminds of me how Hadassah and Matthew were at their age!!! Best of friends! I love that!!!!!
Ashlyn was so excited for Austins birthday this morning! She woke up early and then slept on the couch until she heard him awake!
Austin picked to go to Red Lobster for his birthday meal! He loves shrimp and rice and ate two biscuits! He told the waitress that he wants to come back again next year for his next birthday! I think that says he really liked the food!
After we ate, the kids went out to the Yukon while Mike paid the bill. The waitress had brought out a biscuit with a candle in it, so we told Austin to come back inside and blow out his birthday candle. He walked in trying to put his mask back on his face. He said, "These masks are made out of toilet paper." We laughed but that's just how it is around here right now. Masks are required to wear when going in public and restaurants. When we walked into Red Lobster, we didn't have masks. The manager was sure to get us some to wear to our table and when we leave again.
We came home for dessert! Austin requested a football shaped cake and of course his cousins came over to help us eat it!!!
