An unexpected visit from the birthday cake fairy

Yesterday was pretty fun! We had a day off of school. So Katelyn and Scotty thought it would be fun to have some cousins sleep over. Katelyn invited Laikin, and Scott invited Hunter. Well, the sleeping over went pretty well. It was fun. And when we woke up, we found that the "birthday cake fairy" had come in the night and brought a surprise cake for Hunter that morning. WOW! Mysterious. But you shoulda seen the look on that kid's face. He was smoldering inside with childlike excitement. I couldn't get enough of that. We then had a breakfast of french toast (much different than the usual cheerios) and decided a trip to ToysR Us was in order. Hunter got a gift card to toys r us from Scott for a birthday present, but we thought it would be awesome for all of us to go to the store to help him pick it out. What kid doesn't love to go there, even if it is just to look?
So off we went.
They had the best time testing out all the stuff on the shelves and finally decided on something. Hunter even got a crown and a balloon since he was the birthday kid. Wow. It kept getting better. By then we had rumbling tummies, so we all got a cheeseburger from Burger King. He said this was the best day ever. That is fun to hear!
Finally we left for home so we could test out some of that cake. It was green with a spider web on top, and a plastic spider over the happy birthday hunter part. We had our fill and then it was time for Hunter to go back home, so we packed up the rest of the cake and sent it home with him. We had a bunch of fun. And all of it unexpected! Low stress. Best that way.

Kirst,
I'm so excited that you joined the blogging world. It was so fun to read and catch up. I'm glad I got a chance to see you(ok- for one quick second) when I was home. I miss you! Wish I lived closer... Maybe one day.
