Day One (Thursday before his Sunday birthday): Super Date with Grandma Sharee - First for some traditional birthday shopping, then dinner with Grandpa (who took a break from work), after that it was off to the movies to see Alice in Wonderland, then back to Grandma's to play his new card game. What a lucky boy!
Day Two (Friday): Mom came for lunch to join him at the birthday table at school. All the April birthdays get to go a half hour early to lunch and then get an extra long recess. Mom brought Wendy's (don't even get me started on school lunches) and then I got to stay and take pictures at recess (because that's what other moms do). Also, it makes you very popular in first grade to have your mom with you at recess. I'm assuming that won't last forever, so I just stayed and enjoyed it. I was there for almost an hour and a half!
Later that afternoon, we brought birthday treats for his class. He got to sit up front and they got to ask him 7 questions (what is your favorite color, etc). I was surprised to hear that his favorite food is Thai food and his favorite thing to do is to play with his little brother. I love it!
Day Three (Saturday): Uncle Matt and Grandpa Dave arrived late Friday just to help us celebrate Corbin's birthday. They were a great help getting ready for the crazy day. You can check out the other post to read all about his "Space" birthday party with his friends. Corbin is just like his mother, I think he had as much fun planning and anticipating the party as he did at the party. We had a fun date one night going and picking out all the decorations, cups, napkins, etc. And he wanted to know all about the games we were going to play, what we were going to do when people got there, etc. It was fun to have a partner in crime for this little gig.
After the party, Grandpa & Uncle Matt treated us to lunch at Bajio's. Yum. Must be a Maxwell thing, but we all love Mexican.
Then everyone except me and Colton went off to see How to Train your Dragon in 3D. We don't go to the movie very often, so twice in one week for Corbin was a real treat.
That night we grilled up a yummy Salmon dinner and opened presents from Grandma Jill & Grandpa Dave and some that Aunt Megan had sent. Colton got to open his early so he wouldn't feel left out. Although he still thought they were all for him.

Day Four (his actual birthDAY): Woke up to our tradition of streamers on his bedroom door and a wrapped box of his favorite cereal (Cinnamon Toast Crunch), a real treat since we don't normally buy "sugar" cereals. They sang to him at church and gave him a little present. Then after church the real fun began...
Birthday at Grandma Sharee's with the Jensen Fam:
Riding the zipline
Playing with cousins
Playing in the sand
more presents
birthday "cupcakes"
He also came home from school a couple days later to a new bike.
Definitely spoiled.
