Miles' Surprise 9th Birthday

This year we decided to keep the birthdays low-key since we had big parties last year. Because of this Miles wasn't expecting to do anything major for his birthday. It was the perfect set-up for a little surprise party. Mark told Miles they'd be going on a "daddy-son" day to the Planetarium the Saturday before his birthday. Then when he got to the Planetarium a group of his friends was there to surprise him with a banner and balloons. I accidentally grabbed a banner that said, "Happy 30th Birthday" in my hurry to leave the house. Miles was completely shocked. It took him a minute to realize what was going on. He loved it. The whole party he had a huge smile on his face. The boys went to a 3D movie called, "Born to Be Wild," and they had popcorn instead of birthday cake. His friends told me they hope they get a surprise party for their next birthday. Miles is such a joy to us. We feel so lucky to have him in our family.
