Happy Birthday Koda Bear!! 1/5/2009

WOW! I can hardly believe that my BABY has turned FIVE!  Why do the years seem to go by faster and faster? I really couldn't think of anything great (and warm) to do for a party for Coop and asked him if he would be OK about not having a party.  His response was quick and simple- "Will you take me shopping and let me pick out whatever I want?" Honestly that's it? YOU BET I WILL!!  So, for a surprise I had his primary teacher (Heidi) make him the most AMAZING cake imaginable-she created Optimus Prime for him!  When I asked her to make his cake I knew it would be great-but honestly this cake (masterpiece) is incredible! Tonight while putting Coop to bed I asked him what his favorite part of today had been, without hesitation he said MY CAKE!  Everyone LOVED it and we can't thank you enough! 

His shopping trip was simple and he actually picked out great presents for himself. The first is a little Cars race track, then a Batman laptop, and a Transformer puzzle! So for $40 this kid walked out of Target a VERY happy camper!

We went to Samuri 21 for his B-day dinner (his choice) he loves to watch them cook (FYI the Winter Roll is a really tasty new Sushi roll they are offering right now) then back home to enjoy cake and ice cream with the family! 

Happy Birthday Koda!
