Garrison is 5 - Grammy is 61

The week started out with me baking lots of "5" sugar cookies for Garrison's birthday.  I frosted 30 of them Tuesday morning for us to take with us to drop off at their house before I went to the doctor for a knee check.  I received an excellent report at the doctor - come back for a year check in April.  Ron and I went to Freddy's for lunch after my appointment and then stopped to buy him some shoes and to pick up a few things at Walmart before coming home.

Friday, Debbie Sieger took me to KC for my annual birthday shopping and lunch day.  We had lunch at Joy Wok and enjoyed delicious Chinese buffet.

Saturday, we went to Garrison's birthday party at their home.  He had an Avenger's themed party with many 5 year old guests, his grandparents and his parents (along with a few other parents).  He had a blast.  They had water shooter fights and played other games before taking aim at the panata.  Amanda and Chad did a great job of giving Garrison a wonderful party.  Peyton had a few friends/siblings of party-goers there to play with as well.  Garrison had so much fun opening his many fun gifts and then hot dogs, cheetos and cookie cake were served - all choices of the birthday boy.

After all other guests had gone home, Peyton and Garrison took a rest, Amanda and Chad ran a few errands, and Ron and I relaxed as well.  Garrison had a good time playing with his new toys.  While Amanda and Chad went to Pierponts for a date night, Peyton and Garrison took the birthday girl (Grammy) and Grandpa out for dinner to Chipolte.  Peyton had a great time "paying", carrying her purse and giving the money to the cashier.  Garrison "paid" at Burger King where we went for dessert and playtime.

Sunday morning, Peyton left with Angie and Haley to go to the first day of her 3 day Girl Scout Day Camp.  Chad went to play golf with a friend, and Garrison, Amanda, Ron and I went to Olive Garden for our final birthday celebration until next year.

It was a great weekend - we are so blessed!!!!
