Happy Birthday Sweet Keenan Boy!!! Keenan's birthday started back in September when Craig's mom threw him a birthday bash before we left town so our families could be there to celebrate him. It was such a great idea and Keenan loved being celebrated by everyone :). It was all super heroes and Craig's mom and dad stayed up until the wee hours decorating awesome cookies and cakes. We had so much fun with everyone!

Keenan with Lucas. He just went over to him and sat on the floor talking with him for a while. Maybe he didn't want Lucas to feel left out since he can'r run around yet.

Happy Birthday to you!
Now fast forward to October 23rd and we get to celebrate this big guy yet again!! The day started with presents, went on to breakfast cake, church, and then we had a little celebration lunch with cake and ice cream with another couple here that we are friends with here at our house. Later that evening we got to skype with so many people and we all felt loved by the messages caring for this sweet boy!
Take that, Spiderman!
Well, I guess that's one way to open a card. Just rip the envelope to shreds!
Our gifts to him were super hero masks and he has not stopped pretending to be is Wolverine, Captain America, Spiderman, or Thor in his spare time since. He continually makes me laugh with the things he comes up with in the battles and how he loves sneaking up on people to scratch them with his giant claws or shoot his web at them when they least expect it. I sometimes get to play with him but there have been times when the answer is a clear "not for girls" After we got home from church on his birthday he wanted to play with his masks and so he put on one and I asked who I could be to play with him. He just looked at me and said, "Mom, did you know that you are a girl?" "Yes..." "Girls cant be boys, so you cant be a super hero. Sorry." At this point I pretended to cry and he said, "Are you crying or what?" So I told him I was just so sad that I couldn't play with him so he slowly got up and brought me the Spiderman mask saying "you can be this one I guess." "Hey, I could be Spiderwoman!" "Yeah, I guess.... This is just so stressful!" I had to laugh out loud and gather him up for a big squeeze. He is hilarious!!!
Elliot also is loving having things to play with and especially weapons to hit things with.
A little out of order but here he is blowing out his candles!
Craig's best friend Kevin sent Keenan an awesome remote control Lightning McQueen car with one of our new STINT guys that came a couple of weeks ago and both boys are in love with it. Il lights up, plays some tunes, has sound effects and goes!! We have already had to replace the batteries!!!
Keenan had asked for strawberry banana cake weeks ago and I was so hoping that he would forget since there are no strawberries here and no boxed cake mix for me to use either. But he got it stuck in his head and he would even tell people that his birthday was coming and that he was going to have a strawberry banana cake. I couldn't believe the kid's memory!! So we searched and finally found some strawberry jello and I added some strawberry jelly to the batter as well then filled the cupcakes with banana pudding and there you have it. He was a happy camper and I was too that he was satisfied :).
Elliot enjoyed them as well. Sugar. What's not to love?!
