We had a play group at our house on Jonas' birthday this past Thursday.
Our friends came over around 10 to play in the yard and shared some cupcakes
with us. They sang Happy Birthday to Jonas and everyone had a great time.
It was a little breezy so I had a hard time lighting the candles.
Once they finally stayed lit, he was able to blow them out. :)
Happy Birthday, my sweet boy.
Emma, Jonas and Brendan having fun on the new swing set!
Later Jonas was able to open gifts from his Auntie Kim and Uncle Josh
He got a fun dragon card
And a precious moments elephant with a "4" on him. He loves
to keep him in his room. He takes him down and talks to him.
He is actually part of his "birthday train" collection - all of the animals hook together.
The pack of puzzles are a lot of fun. His favorites are the
dog and cat so far. The puzzles have a picture on the left and
the word on the right. He finds the lower case letters to make the word.
Melissa and Doug make some great kid's puzzles! Thank you!! :)
Thank you, Auntie Kim and Uncle Josh!!
Later he had fun opening his very first guitar.
Buzz Lightyear! We had no idea Buzz Lightyear
had a guitar before we saw it in the store, but it was a hit!
Showing his Dad his new guitar.
Jonas has been trying to teach Mark the song he made up!
Our little budding musician...
Meet: Buzz Lightyear Jonas
I have been wanting to pick up something for him to dress up in
and play in. This was the perfect thing. It will be nice to have
for trick or treating this year, too! Jonas loved it, of course.
Who wouldn't want a suit with a laser on the arm?!
"To infinity and beyond!"
He also got the flying pack for on his back. It's a fun one!
After playing at home for a while we took Jonas out for his birthday dinner at a local Hibachi grill.
We thought it would be fun since the chefs play around with the food and put on a show. As it turns out, Jonas is not fond of the flames! We won't do that again... but we did have some great food!
Jonas loved the fried rice, shrimp and white sauce.
If you've ever been to a place like this, you know that the chef enjoys throwing some kind of food at the customer (to catch in their mouth) Well... Jonas didn't want to and the chef didn't know why! Until... the older boy across the table caught a shrimp in his mouth! Jonas thought that was pretty neat, so he gave it a try. He had fun trying to catch some shrimp in his mouth!
Many tries, but not one shrimp made it into his mouth. Oh well!
In the car Jonas said "Mommy, I did a shrimp catch game" He did have some fun with it!
After dinner the staff came out and sang "Happy Birthday" to Jonas.
It was very sweet of them. He really liked the birthday cake they gave him, too.
