Today is Minnie's 5th Birthday! (04.28.2006)

Today is Minnie's fifth birthday! Look how he is different from a year ago!

We started off the day with a delicious breakfast at the Grecian Cafe. Then, off to school for the kiddies. Later on in the afternoon, Michael put together the rest of the big surprise present. We also wrote down hints on cards for the big hunt which turned out to be a big hit. The kids went to three different areas around the exterior of the house which lead to the final destination --- the garage.

When Minnie opened the door, he didn't know what it was at first. You need to see the video to see that ... They started driving the car around the backyard and had a great time while Michael and I cleaned up the backyard.

Finally, we celebrated with cake and ice cream (of course). It was a perfect way to end a fun-filled day.

Looks like we're ready to go on a treasure hunt (or more like a birthday present hunt)!


... Ladies and Gentlemen, here's the final prize! (This is from the QuickTime video we took earlier this evening.)
