Today is Dada’s birthday, and we LOVE birthdays! 

When we got up this morning and came out to the living room,

we saw that Mummy had decorated with streamers and balloons. 

We shouted WOW!

Dada was still upstairs in bed; he was tired from his business trip to Denver yesterday. 

But we wanted him to see what Mummy had done, so we raced upstairs to get him,

shouting “Come on Daddy, come on!  Come see balloons!”

We sang ‘Happy Birthday’, and pulled Dada back downstairs with us.

Mummy had made the special Birthday Coffee Cake (we love Coffee Cake!) and

there were dinosaurs guarding the cake.  That was silly!

Mummy put candles on the cake and we all got to sing Happy Birthday again. 

Then we helped Dada to make a wish and blow out the candles.

Then there were presents to open!  Mummy gave Dada an entire airport.

We all really liked that gift, because we all got to play with it!

Then we all went to the town pool for a swim!

When we woke up from our nap, some presents have arrived from Uncle Todd!

Uncle Todd sent all kinds of Yankee gifts.  We love that!  Uncle Todd always

finds the very best gifts. 

We got real baseball gloves and Yankee caps and Yankee warm-up jackets. 

Now we can play real baseball with Dada!

What an amazing day!  And that was before we had our afternoon Cake Party and

dinner on top of Aspen Mountain.  Stay tuned for more…
