Birthday Celebration

Murray's birthday was Monday.  We had planned on having a family birthday party Monday night and Monday for lunch just Murray and I were going to go out for a birthday lunch.  But as anyone with kids knows, plans can change very quickly.

Miller ended up having to stay home from school because of his asthma. 

 Then I thought if he is home, I might as well keep Sara Wells with me too since I would no longer get anything done that I would do kidless.  So, our birthday lunch now included two more.   

And then I thought, if we have 2 we might as well get Ella out of school and have her join us too (she only missed lunch and the last 30 minutes).  Plus, I left her school bag sitting on the kitchen counter.  

As we were driving to school I told everyone the plans.  Then Daddy called declaring where he would really love to have his Birthday Lunch.

Chuck E. Cheese!

What a good Daddy!

The kids had a blast.

 And I think Daddy did too!

 After lunch the kids and I rushed home to get ready for the party that night.

As I have said before, Ella and Miller love to decorate!  So, to get to this point took about an hour.

 About 45 minutes longer than I had anticipate. 

 For his birthday cake, Murray requested Key Lime Pie.

Here are a few of Ella's photo journal of the beginning festivities.

 Even one of herself...

 Inspired by his Chuck E. Cheese prize, Miller celebrated Daddy's birthday ninja style.

Miller has had his eye on these for sometime and finally found the perfect excuse to get one.

 From all the Lee Kids:  Super Hero Cape!

Now Daddy has a cape just like Ella and Miller.

Happy Birthday Murray!

We love you!
