Gary turned one year older yesterday morning. After making him his favorite muffins (orange cranberry) for breakfast we sat to enjoy our meal and he opened his presents. I gave him his gift (Mass Effect 2) the day I bought it because he thinks "If I buy it, why would I then wrap it up and wait to use it"? Good point I guess, though I like the anticipation.

Anyway, he received a nice pair of sunglasses from my parents along with a wireless XBox 360 controller. He was pretty excited!!!

He played Xbox for a while while I read about Gary's childhood. His mother has a detailed journal of what he did practically every day his first year. Then it tapers off to a couple times a week then to a few times a month til he's in middle school. I of course didn't read all of it, but enjoyed reading about his first year.

Then we went to Boulder and spent some time enjoying the Pearl Street Mall. I loved watching the street performers. We also had reservations to eat at a fancy restaurant called Med. I was excited that we got to order half off Tapas rather than a whole meal. We got to try about 6 of their dishes which filled us up for pretty cheap. I loved the lamb meatballs and the shrimp.

Then we went to Glacier Homemade Ice-Cream to try some of their most popular flavors. I was in Heaven!! My favorite was the lemon raspberry gelato! Yum!

Then we went home, watched a movie and waited to hang out with some of Gary's friends that were in town for the weekend. At 12:30 we figured they weren't coming over so we went to bed. Around 1:30 we got a text from them asking if we wanted to hang out. Gary jumped right out of bed and got ready to go! At 2:00 AM we pulled into Denny's for a midnight party! It was fun! We loved seeing some all of them!

Finally at 5:00 we got back into bed again and decided that we'd skip our church which starts at 9:00 and go to the noon one so we could at least get 6 hours of sleep. It was a great day!
