We started it off with the not so traditional french toast breakfast because mom accidentally made pancakes (for the first time ever) for dinner the night before. We did not even have any whipped cream to top them with, so I made homemade. Wow! It was great! (Much better than store-bought!)

After breakfast, we watched William open his presents. He was so excited about his Fireman costume. He dressed up in it right away, and fought fires with his new "fire gun" the rest of the morning.

William got a very special treat too. Because Sam has been working so hard lately, he was able to be home in the morning with us to help celebrate.

When dad had to leave, we headed for the pool with the Williams'. My kids are so blessed to have them as friends. They do not have a single day without talking, thinking, or being with them. They are a great family, and we all love being around them. Their second youngest is William's best buddy. The relationship they have together is so cute. They will be off playing separately, then find each other, speak their own gobbled language to each other and just laugh. It is great fun to watch them interact. We swam for a couple hours, and enjoyed the beautiful day it was.

Our final event for the day was going to the park. If we weren't tired yet, it was coming soon. All the kids ran, climbed, played chase, and swung on the swings.

William and Dakota loved going high and having me run under their swings. ("Underdog" as they call it.) By the days end, William crashed out early. We were all tired. (Wait, we still had Natalie's soccer game to go to. The Crazy Hardy's are just always running!) What a wonderful day and what a special boy!
