As all birthdays should, Russell's birthday was celebrated multiple times! He was lucky to celebrate and open lots of presents many times around his actual birthday.
His first celebration was the day before his birthday. We went to Chili's for his birthday dinner. He got to open a couple presents, was sang to, and got a free birthday dessert.

Russell started his birthday in a very traumatic way by tipping his chair back and smacking his head on the floor. Luckily he was able to recover (his chair is too scary to sit at now though) and still have a fun day. He spent the morning partying with Wesley. First they invaded the library and spent lots of time in their kid section reading books, doing puzzles and playing on the computers. After the weather warmed up a bit we headed to the park and they ran around like mad men until it was time to go home and nap.
That night Aunt Ashee came to party while her parents went to Austin. We had a mini party with a rice krispy cake and presents.
Happy birthday boy with all his new big vehicles!
Then a few days later we had his 'big' birthday party with friends and family. He was a popular guy this year. Wesley and his parents, Emily (Stephen's coworker) and David, Papa, Bear, Ashee, and Grandma were all able to come party with us. We had Navajo tacos, birthday cake, ice cream and presents! He was very spoiled and wanted to play with each present as he opened it... except clothes, those got tossed to the floor immediately!
Successful birthday celebrating!
I love how he treasured each individual gift!
