Happy 9th Birthday to McKay!
Yesterday was his birthday and he was SO excited. He woke up at 5:00am and had to wait clear until after dinner to open his presents.
His big request this year was for a sewing machine! (I had been thinking it would be for Christmas, but we made it a birthday present instead.) Not your typical request from a 9-year-old boy, but in a lot of ways McKay is not your typical boy.
He also got a sewing book (with some kid-friendly projects), a sewing basket and a starter sewing kit. He was up early this morning figuring out the machine in his room (it is a 1/2 size machine) and practicing sewing on paper.
His other presents included some computer games and software, a shirt and some bigger "zipper" ties (he has outgrown his old clip-on ties), and a couple of board games (Blokus and "Pass the Pigs").
For his cake this year, he requested a BYU cake. (Mom likes the not-too-complicated requests!)
When it was time to blow out the candles, we all sang to him and after the song ended, Hannah & Courtney immediately leaned over and blew! They blew out about half the candles. I'm not sure if it was just "instinct" to blow or they are just in the habit of helping the littler kids. McKay was quite offended, however, so we re-lit the candles for himto have his own shot (I think he got all but two on the first blow).
Cake and ice cream means messy faces!
And even though it was bedtime, they had to get out a couple of presents, including the sewing machine and the Blokus game.
Hope you had a great day, McKay!
