Happy 5th Birthday Chief

Chief is turning FIVE on this -10 degree day. Happy Birthday to the happiest and most loving little boy who always has an adventure in his pocket. 

For breakfast I let the birthday child choose anything they want. I'm surprised that this is the first time I have got this request, but Chief requested ice-cream. Ice-cream it is!For dinner he requested his absolutely favorite thing in the universe. Buffalo BBQ Chicken Wings and Cheese Pizza. He LOVES chicken wings and I tell him it puts hair on his chest. :) 

We had a great day with our family. It started with ice-cream and presents and ended with a chicken wings, pizza and Batman cake and more ice-cream. I can't help but think of Chief's birthmother on this special day. We are forever grateful for her and this incredible gift that she gave to our family. We love Chief so very much and thank our Father in Heaven for adoption and selfless birthmothers. Chief is completely aware of Aubrey. She naturally comes into the story when we tell Oliver of his birth. When I was once again telling him of his birth and how Aubrey chose to place him for adoption. Chief piped in, "Oh mom, Aubrey loves me." That is exactly right Chief. I hope one day he can meet the women that gave him life and that forever blessed our family. We love you Chief, you make life completely amazing! You are so sweet and loving and generous with your affection. Happy Birthday! I can hardly believe you are five! The years fly by.

Chief received some wonderful and thoughtful gifts. Thanks everyone! He wanted more than anything a robe, so I happened to find a Ninja Turtle robe that he adored! I laughed so hard when he told me that's what he wanted. Paca Tractor also made him a set of wooden cars. Paca is amazing when it comes to making things with wood. I was thrilled to see that he even signed the bottom of the vehicles! I have told him to do this for years! Unfortunately, the babies aboslutely loved the cars too. So Chief had to keep stealing them back from the babies in order to play with them! Chief is constantly driving these wooden cars around. He loves them. Thank you Paca! Chief also got some more magnetic tiles to add to the set he got for Christmas. I am not kidding when I say the absolute BEST purchase ever! Chief spends HOURS every single day building things and putting things together. In fact, every night he takes a few magnetic tiles to bed. Thank you to everyone that made this day extra special for our boy.
