Maverick's actual birthday was the Saturday over labor day weekend and we had planned to go out of town but plans fell through so we found ourselves in town making plans! We went for a fun RZR ride over the mountains into Midway and went to Swiss Days, we saw the parade and got lunch with some friends. We went to Barnes' cabin for a little bit and they got a little cake for Maverick! It was so adorable. He is so used to having other people have the attention, when he realized we were all singing to him he got so excited! That night we went to Chuckee Cheese and played games and ate pizza... and the kids thought it was the greatest.

Maverick's birthday party we had the following Tuesday night. We invited lots of friends and family and neighbors for a casual dessert night and had a lot of fun. All the kids were playing into the night and Maverick was of course happy as could be. He loved his Hunny pot cake. We all sang him Happy Birthday and then gave him his cake. He wasn't sure at first so we let all the kids dip a finger in and then he got the idea. He had fistfuls of frosting and was loving it. We also served marshmallow honeycomb clusters, teddy bear trail mix, magic cookie bars, bit o' honey, rolos, cookies, lemon bars, and lemonade.
