Shawn's Day

Today we celebrated Shawn's Homecoming Day. We did everything we could do make this day special for him.

He woke up to his own celebratory sign, complete with balloons!

Oh boy were they excited by the sign!
We all had to go in and marvel at its beauty this morning.

Shawn got to play the game of his choice (a fishing game) this morning.
He played this game off and on all day long.

Jason took his turn.

Jack was taking his turn, but I was too late
taking the picture. All I got was him leaving the game. lol

 Then this evening, Shawn got to have his favorite dinner. He even got to go with daddy to get it.

It's PIZZA!
He was pretty excited. :)

Chowing down at dinner.

After dinner, Shawn got to blow out a candle on his "cake." He insisted we sing him "Happy Birthday" instead of "Happy Homecoming Day"...which, I guess the day is sort of a variation of a birthday, but still.

Yea! Hurry up and turn out the light, daddy!
I want to blow out my candle!

Blowing out his candle...
LOVE Jason's expression over there.
He was not enjoying the whole "Shawn's Day" idea and was sad
he has to wait a whole NINE days until it's his Homecoming Day.

A high-five for blowing out his candle.

Then he got to open up a few little presents...

A movie

An App card for his LeapPad (Jason has it here)

And some cars!

Then we got to have some cake. Shawn's cake was a giant chocolate chip cookie! It was yummy.

 

 

He was so excited. It made my heart happy to see him having so much fun. I think he had a really great day!

P.S. I know that celebrating a Homecoming Day may seem a bit excessive, but I personally love celebrating this day. It's our chance to focus our attention on only one of them and make him the star of the day, and there really isn't any other chance to do that the rest of the year when you have twins plus one. Besides, it's always fun to celebrate the ones you love!
