James had a multi-day birthday this year. On Tuesday (12/9/08) he brought cupcakes to preschool. On wednesday, his actual birthday, Grammy and Gramps came up and watched him play hockey and had dinner with us. We told Jam he could go to any restaurant he wanted and he picked Burger King. We tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted. On Friday (12/12/08) Jam had his birthday party at the YMCA in Marquette. He had soooooo much fun and it was super easy for us. This was good because we were, of course, fighting colds. The people at the Y handled all the details and we just showed up and had fun!
The party coordinator at the Y is dating one of the Wildcat hockey players so when we said he loved hockey she had her boyfriend get him a poster signed by the whole team. He was so excited he was actually running in circles!

Everyone's favorite part seemed to be the pool. It was nice to get the chance to swim in the middle of winter. the Y has a beautiful kid-friendly pool.
