Maddux's birthday morning cinnamon rolls!

Today it all started! Our crazy July birthday week! Maddux turned four today and Graci's birthday is just around the corner (Tuesday). They have both already had an action packed weekend and it is only Friday. Thursday was a movie with MawMaw and PawPaw. That evening Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Gina arrived. Today was birthday cinnamon rolls, complete with candles. This afternoon went on a little sight seeing tour of Augusta, opened presents and had ice cream cake for dinner!
Maddux's first birthday present this year was one he picked out all by himself. His first choice was a turtle, which did not pan out, so his next choice was his very own fish tank! MawMaw and PawPaw bought him 6 fish and a fish tank with all the fixin's. He had them all named by bedtime last night, several crazy names, my favorite though, the spotted fish named Cookie. He layed down to go to sleep and started to cry, when asked what was wrong, he cried "I miss Cookie!". He got up and said one last goodnight to Cookie, stood there for a moment, put his hand on the glass and said "I love you fishies". So needless to say after that I was praying all of the fish made it til morning in their new home. So far so good, the tank it quite cloudy though and Jim thinks it is because their are too many fish in a very small tank. To avoid breaking by birthday boys heart, Daddy has gone out for a late night trip to Wally World to buy another tank to fit all of them safely. He is so great.
