Best Gift Ever

Grant got the best gift he could possibly ask for for his birthday. On Friday, his best friend, Nate, came all the way from Tuscaloosa, AL to spend the night (a first for both boys) and then attend the big birthday bash on Saturday. The look on their faces when they saw each other was absolutely PRICELESS! The squeals that came from those two boys sounded like little girls! As soon as we got in the door Nate wanted to give Grant his birthday present, which was fully equiped with a Spiderman costume and Spiderman pj's (both of which Nate already had and brought to play in).

Grant on the left, Nate on the right!

When the masks came off they'd say "Hey, Im Peter Parker now" or in their language "Petuh Pawkuh"

Little brother was amazed!

After a ton of playing and "web shooting" the goblins, we had supper and some ice cream cake and the boys were ready for a bath! We loaded the tub with tons of bubbles and they had a great time.

After bath, of course came the matching spiderman pjs! They were hysterical and oh so cute in these!

Grant kept telling Nate how much he loved him and missed him. Its so sweet and sad at the same time.

At about 8:30 Em and I decided we had better start getting them in the bed because we knew it would be a process. I put the air mattress in Cole's room so Emily could have Grants bed (sorry about the uncomfy bed Em) and the boys thought it was cool. I put on the Toy Story sheets and Em read them a book and I bet we went in there 10 times after that to tell them to be quiet. Poor Nate was exhausted from the drive and not having a nap and over the monitor we heard Nate say "Grant, you're annoying me". HILARIOUS. After a meltdown or two from each boy we finally heard silence at 9:15.
After the kids went to bed Emily and I rented a girly movie and had a glass of wine and had many laughs. It was much needed.

The next morning I made cinnamon rolls and we got the kids ready and they were super excited to party!
I can't thank Emily enough for bringing Nate up to make Grant's birthday so special! We had a FANTASTIC TIME and I can't wait to do it again! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!
