Birthday Beginning

Miles woke up on his birthday and was just as impressed with his "Nether Portal" as Cooper had hoped! 

He ate his breakfast, he'd requested a waffle breakfast sandwich. (Eggs, bacon and cheese on a waffle) But Cooper strongly encouraged his request, same as last year. Ha.

Derek had to go to church early to run sound.  The rest of us had a leisurely morning getting ready.  It was the first week of a new service time, with second service starting at 11am instead of 10:30.  Once at church we got everyone to the correct classroom, cupcakes and all, and settled in.

Owen doesn't care much for the nursery and fusses the whole time.  I went down to check on him during the service and when I peeked through the one way mirror, I saw this...

The new service time apparently ran into nap time.  Owen passed out and had his nap on the nursery floor.   At least he wasn't crying?! :)

He woke up by the time we picked him up and we headed to lunch.

Where Miles ordered the kid's cheeseburger and was impressed by it's size!

A big burger holds more ketchup, right? ha.

Back at home, it was time for the traditional scavenger hunt for gifts. (video to come!) G'pa Dale 'stole' the first clue and read it to say that Miles was to give all the money from cards to G'pa.  This got a laugh from everyone...

Uncle Bruce and Aunt Brenda sent a gift card to go see a movie... which got a jumping celebration.

Owen is looking for the card money himself, maybe? :)

Then clues were read and gifts opened in a flurry of excitement.

And there was some FaceTiming with Aunts and Uncles not present. 

Miles had a great time and only got one duplicate gift. ha. Owen enjoyed the action too... as you can see, he is definitely not about to shove the legos off the edge.  He wouldn't do that.

...or would he?
