chuck e cheese and cupcakes

now that kainoa is in school, we have to wake him up earlier than usual so he can open his gifts for his birthday. this is a first for us.

let's just say waking up your kid to open presents isn't as glamorous as it sounds... after he really woke up, he enjoyed waking up to this...

and this....

he's still into Cars, so he loved his gifts. all toys for the little guy. that was a first also.

at lunch, muelu, kyks and i surprised him with cupcakes at school. we decided to play hooky and take kainoa out of class after lunch to go to his favorite place, Chuck E. Cheese. just us. it was perfect, not crowded and he got to play all the games all day.

after c.e.c., we came back to the house for dinner and cake. this birthday was one of the simplest, easiest we've done. kainoa didn't care. he was so happy just to celebrate his day. the easy going guy is easy to please.

loved this birthday. love this little guy.
