Jared had a fun birthday weekend. On his real birthday we went to the new aquarium (see a few posts ago). Then we had a yummy pizza dinner (Jared's request: Little Caesar's with breadsticks.) Grandma C and Grandpa S and Uncle Mason joined us for dinner and dessert (Grandma S was on vacation).

The traditional song my side of the family always sings for birthdays.
Happy birthday, Dude! What an awesome, wonderful boy I have. I feel like in the past I have struck-out somewhat in choosing the right presents for Jared at his birthday and Christmas. I will sometimes choose things that he doesn't really end up playing with. However, this year he got the PERFECT things for his interests: a Star Wars character encyclopedia, a microscope, binoculars, a wristwatch, an animal encyclopedia, rubber band airplanes, a book about the Periodic Table (not kidding--he's totally into it), and this amazing Snap Circuits Jr. board. (Seriously, if you have a somewhat nerdy kid like mine who loves to put things together, this is the PERFECT gift for them. It has kept Jared busy for hours!) Score!!!
We didn't have a friend party this year, but I think Jared had a great time anyway. The Saturday after Jared's birthday, Alan and some of Alan's siblings took Jared to hike Timpanogos Cave. Jared LOVED it. He had a lot of fun spending time with people he loves.
