Spencer, 2 days old
Spencer turned nine the day we left Ohio. So, the celebrations started on Friday, the day before we left. We went to the movies in the morning and saw Wall-e. (Spencer still hasn't opened his Wall-e Wii game, since he saw the movie - it was a flop.) We spent the afternoon and evening at the Dublin Irish Festival. The kids made all kinds of green Irish crafts. After the festival, we went out to a Mexican restaurant where they sang to Spencer while he donned a sombrerro and munched on fried ice cream.
We didn't know that one of the kids would alert the restauant staff of Spencer's birthday, so we had an ice cream cake from the best ice cream store in Ohio - Graeter's, that we ate at G & G's house.
One of our traditions is to let the birthday child choose what we have for breakfast. Spencer wanted a breakfast sandwich. I forgot and didn't buy the ingredients, so I went to two restaurants to find a place that was still serving breakfast. Thank you Tim Horton's.
Spencer spent his birthday on a plane, flying home. Now that the airlines have started charging for drinks, we let Spencer have his own pop since it was his birthday (how silly!). We got home and Grandpa and Grandma had another cake waiting for Spencer. It was fun being able celebrate his birthday over 2 days. Once he gets back to school (he hasn't gone to school & has missed the first 3 days of school because he's sick) and makes friends (and finds out who has moved) we'll do a birthday party for him.

Happy Birthday to Spencer! It sounds like he had a lot of fun. It's fast how they grow up. I'm sure he loved all the attention he received for his birthday. How neat to celebrate with both sets of Grandparents.
