Grant’s Birthday {continued}

It seems like for the last few months I’ve gotten in the routine of posting everything just a little late here!!!  Last weekend we went to Winfield to wrap up Grant’s birthday celebration.  My parents were both so busy the week of Grant’s birthday that we didn’t get to celebrate with them.  My mom was working the ESA sorority booth at Bluegrass and my dad was at the state fair everyday working.  So, we packed up the car and headed to Winfield on Saturday afternoon. 

Grant was VERY eager to open all of his gifts so we did that within minutes of arriving. 

He was so excited about the Adrian Peterson {Vikings} jersey that he got from Nana.DSCN2331He was even more excited about the Drew Brees {Saints} jersey he got from Grandma Norma. 

So excited in fact that he put it on right over the other jersey.

He also got a few baseball themed gifts too.  A weight for his bat and a reaction ball to practice fielding with.    DSCN2338 DSCN2341

A gift that has given him {and daddy} hours of fun is the new Tiger Woods Xbox 360 game.DSCN2344Here’s the birthday boy with Grandma.  She made him his new favorite cake.  A Neapolitan layered {chocolate, vanilla, strawberry} cake just like mommy gets every year for her birthday.DSCN2350The birthday boy with Nana and Grandma Norma.DSCN2351 . . . and the birthday boy relaxing with Spiro after he ate too much cake.DSCN2345

On a sad note . . . the Drew Brees jersey didn’t last long.  He wore it to school on Monday and I got a call from his teacher that afternoon.  She said Grant was pretty upset.  While he was at recess he was playing on the swings and when he jumped out the sleeve got caught on the chain of the swing and ripped.  It’s not as bad as I imagined.  I think with a little black thread it will be as good as new.
