Happy Birthday Cooper

Cooper's knows how to make his birthday last (I think he gets that from Eddie) - The Monday following our NBA outing was his actual birthday.  He started the morning bright and early and opened presents before school.  

 We went to Chevy's for dinner - nothing like a good old fashion sombrero on your birthday.

 Billy came and celebrated the evening with us

 I showed up to pick him up after school with these balloons which he loved..
it all sounds like a perfect day but in reality the morning was off to a bad start - the shoes he opened which were the #1 thing he was hoping for were to big and he couldn't wear them to school - then his buddy that was supposed to come over after school had to cancel - then we went to Chevy's and they were out, yes out! of sombreros - he was crushed.  Billy lives close by and luckily had one from his 21st so he ran home and grabbed it to save the day.  Hence the balloons to cheer him up....

 then on Wednesday a couple of friends came over after school for some basketball and fun

 We even had cake (the kids didn't even notice the missing pieces from Monday night!)

So after a week long birthday celebration full of ups and downs - Cooper is officially 8!!
