One of a Kind

I entitled this post One of a Kind for a few reasons:

1) This is the first time that McKay and I have been together during the first part of December.

2) Someone turned 1/4 of a century old.

3) McKay is now exactly half the age of his mother.

    (I think you know where this is going!)

4) And the last and most important reason is that my guy is One of a Kind!

That's why I call it the One of a Kind Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MCKAY!!!

As a special birthday date McKay and I strolled along the Santa Monica Promenade enjoying the Christmas cheer and watching holiday shoppers collect their little treasures.  The weather was perfect too!

For lunch I treated him to some delicious Thai food that made our mouths tingle and ears whistle.  

Gotta love that spicy stuff!

We continued our shopping adventures hopping in and out of stores when we stumbled upon this curious creation.  

$99.99 for a pet/shoe - Perfect for someone that likes to stroke their shoes. 

Later, our Moroccan friend Abel came over to wish McKay a happy birthday and even brought him a cake!  McKay traded some of his Birthday Belgium chocolates from his mom in exchange for the cake.

Then the birthday boy sat in the king chair and opened all his goodies.

Look at the happiness on that little face!  Cutie! 

Since McKay is the Carcassonne champion of the family I thought it only fitting that he have special Carcassonne attire for tournaments. 

He loved it! Win for Marielle!
The greatest gift of all though was his finals ending and having more time to spend together. 

All in all McKay wanted a simple birthday this year, so in the evening we snuggled up on the couch with our chocolate mug cakes and watched classic James Bond movies.  A while back we decided to watch all the James Bond movies in chronological order and are therefore becoming quite the Bond experts.  Currently we are in the 70's decade and having a groovy time watching them baby!  

Happy Shopping!
