Rex was extra lucky this year. His birthday actually fell on a Monday which normally would not be awesome, but it just so happened that his school district had a snow day scheduled. Since we had such a mild winter, the kids never took any snow days, and hence, a day off! I took the day off of work, and we enjoyed our Monday off as a family.
Since Theo still had school, we went to meet him for lunch. Rex's first pick, Texas Roadhouse was actually closed, so we had to settle for the Olive Garden. We let him open his presents at lunch since he didn't want to wait until the evening when we would all be home. He was pretty pleased with a pocketknife and a digital camera (I am so glad these have become so inexpensive!). He declared that it was his best birthday yet. Score. In the evening, he got to choose our dinner, and we had the traditional cake and ice cream. It was a delightful and low key day. Happy birthday to my youngest man, Rex!
