Happy Happy 30th Birthday LINCOLN!
Lincoln turned 30 on Friday! We were going to start his day off with a stack of 30 pankcakes, but he had to be to work early so that didn't happen. We decorated the inside and outside of the house with balloons and banners, and a couple of fancy "30" signs. It is really hard to decorate with little kids, they kept accidentally popping my balloons. Then we tied thirty ribbons around thirty bottles of soda, and made a giant 30 on the ground. We placed a giant party hat on the ground in the foyer that said, "DAD, put this on!"
When Lincoln pulled up we all hid in the stair well....even Cyrus. Simone gave us away by babbling happily! We jumped out and yelled SURPRISE ( I know, not much of a surprise party!), and he was so happy!
Then we all went to the drive in movie theater! We took advantage of Lincoln's rental car, which is a brand new F150! We saw Wall-E again. We bought dinner (hamburgers, wraps, corn dogs, fries) and lot of treats (popcorn, snowballs, homemade lemonade, candies) at the snack bar, and had a really good time. Simone was so quiet the whole time. I was shocked and relieved! Natalia fell asleep, but Wyatt didn't so we had to leave. (The next movie was the Dark Knight.) It was a fun drive in, I recommend it anyone. It is just four miles from Gun Powder Falls state park, so it's close.
Natalia gave Lincoln a note that told him she wanted to take him to the book store for a new book.
Wyatt gave Lincoln a note that told him he wanted to take him to Medieval Times. (I post about that later.)
Simone gave Lincoln a note that told him she wanted to take him on a Disney Cruise when she was three years old.
I have Lincoln a note that told him about an upcoming 4 day trip to Florida to stay at the new Marriott near Disney World. We will go this next spring or fall.
I made the cake he requested. His family calls it "yum yum cake", but the rest of the world knows it by a "different" name. I think the real name is the name of several cakes. Our versoin is yellow cake with pineapple, vanilla pudding, whipped cream, and coconut on top. We ate it for breakfast the next day, and we lit 30 candles too.
Happy Birthday Lincoln! We love you so much.
