Happy Birthday Maxwell!

A reuniting of brothers.  Maxwell was born on December 31, 2005 at about 2:30 in the morning.  The next day Mason came to meet his brother.  We will never forget this.  Mason was SO excited to have his own brother and we were even more excited to have Maxwell Dale Draper in our lives.

Maxwell was SO excited for his birthday!  He got up on his birthday with a huge smile and said “It’s my birthday!  I’m 4!  I’m big now.”  He was so cute. 

A little about Maxwell.  Max was mommy’s hardest to deliver.  He was 8lb 6oz when he was born.  Max is our little athlete.  While Mason is very coordinated Max follows Mason’s every step.  When Mason learned to ride a bike the next day Max learned.  We had Max riding a two wheeler bike and swimming laps by himself all at 3 years old.  He’s very smart as well and can figure things out quickly.  Mason and Maxwell are best friends – they play together so well.  Max love being outdoors and spending time with his dad.  He’s our little snacker – if you can’t find him he’s probably rummaging through the pantry. 

We told Max he could choose where he wanted to go to dinner and he chose Chucky Cheese.  Before we headed to dinner we went to see our basketball hero Bella.  She’s so good and the kids really look up to her.  Go Vike’s!

Max invited his aunts, uncles, cousin’s and friends to Chucky Cheese and we all had a great time.  Plenty of pizza, drinks and tokens for everybody.  It’s' new years eve so after we headed to Em’s and Mikes house and then to some friends.

Happy Birthday Max!! I love his cute chubby baby picture! His face looks totally the same. It was kind of funny reading this post because Dec 31st is Carter's birthday and we also spent the day at chuck e cheese and had a lightening mcqueen birthday cake! Carter didn't get to have all his aunts, uncles, and cousins there though. You guys are so lucky!
