clay's b-day

Last Thursday we celebrated Clay's 27th birthday. We had birthday donuts for breakfast- my favorite Iles family tradition. For lunch Clay's boss took us and some other Kobi employees out to eat at a burger place. The restaurant waitresses and cook sang happy birthday to Clay and gave him enough brownies covered in ice-cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, sprinkles and cherries to share with the whole table. We ended the evening with homemade pizza and breadsticks for dinner upon Clay's request.

Here's some pictures of Noah celebrating "Happy Day Daddy":

Noah set up this ensemble so he could practice singing happy birthday.

The "candle" is the pump to his Thomas the Train.

"yea for daddy!"

Noah wrapped this present all by himself. He was so proud.

This is the front of the card Noah made for his daddy.

Notice "Orange Moses" is written at the top of the card. Noah drew a bunch of orange squiggles and told me it was orange Moses, which is a black lab that belongs to our friends Jason and Melissa. I'm baffled by toddlers and their imaginations.
