Zev's birthday weekend

On Friday afternoon we went to Build-a-Bear in the mall.  Tahl was so excited to get a new outfit for Nala.  

She looks pretty fancy in her new outfit.  

Zev made a bear and got an outfit.  Meet his new friend "Darth Vader Fluffy Bear." 

 I hope to never pay $50 for a bear again, but he has at least slept with him every night since he came home. 

 Oren came in town to visit us. I some how got NO pictures of him?? I did, however, get this picture of Tahl playing with the present Oren brought him. 

And on continues the rein of the unicorn in our house... 

Zevi got a one man bubble bath, which was on his birthday list. 

The big guys went with Ari and Oren to play at Kid Mania.

We all went out to lunch at Jimmy's for sandwiches after, and poor Isaac was very tired. 

We had a big dinner out that night thanks to Buby and Buster. Again, I somehow failed at getting a picture of everyone, but Zev really liked Texas de Brazil. He loves meat and cheese, so he really couldn't go wrong there. 

We set up his birthday door after Oren left at 4 in the morning... 

Here is a little video of the balloons falling in. Please ignore my singing.

Zev had a good time with the balloons. 

 Then he got to take another birthday bath and open his presents. 

He was so excited to get Mip, the robot that he has been talking about for a long time. 

He also got another snap circuits set from his Buby and Buster. 

He got books from his brothers. 

Boy does this kid love to read.  

Especially Shel Silverstein poems. 

Ari made his this great birthday morning breakfast. 

Posing with Mip. 

He actually spent most of his birthday at school.   That might be one of the worst things about having a big kid!  When he got home, he got to play with his new toys and some old ones.  You can see the two birthday ribbons he was so proud of on his shirt. 

Here he is trying out snap circuits.

(With a princess photo bomber...)  

He wanted cookies for his birthday, but he had to still blow out a candle or two of course. 

We love you Zev, and can't wait for you to grow another year older!
