Marcus' Birthday

Marcus seemed to really enjoy his birthday celebrations.  He loves going out to dinner with family.

Even Chase ate his dinner - a slice of chocolate cake :)

Marcus thought that was going to be it, but he didn't know I'd been saving all year.  We decided not to do birthday presents since we were buying a house and all, but I put away money each month to get him something I knew he'd really, really, really wanted.  It took some good planning, budgeting, and timing.

He just stood there staring at it, so I must have really surprised him!

He picked out his birthday meal and then made it himself.  It's like a present for me too!  haha

His first bite of meat off his grill

And of course he wanted a banana split.  Always. 

And Chase blew out his candles

And he finished his great day chasing the ducks in the backyard...

Happy Birthday, Marcus.  Enjoy this final year in your 20's!
