Birthday Gifts from Away

For Ezekiel's birthday, Grandaddy Jack and Angie (or Gammy Gee-Gee as Ezekiel calls her) sent Ezekiel some surprise packages.  It was hilarious how they ended up coming.  The first day, we got a package and in it was a Go Diego Go bed set.  Ezekiel was incredibly excited.  So I went and got his mattress and we set up his bed on the floor so he could try out his new sheets and blankets.  He loved it.  He went and got all of his new toys, and set them up all over the bed to play with them.  I was a little weary of letting him sleep in the bed because the mattress had already gone through two kids and it was ripped up.  I promised him we would go buy him a new mattress.  So the next day, I look out my door and I see this huge thing.  I go drag it in, and low-and-behold it's a mattress!!!  So I bring it in, and Ezekiel is jumping, jumping, jumping everywhere in his excitement!  A new bed has come!!  So we set up the new mattress and once again, he is so excited (for Diego-go as he calls it).  I call Marty at work and tell him about the gift and say "we should really go buy him a bed, so the mattress can be set up correctly".  We agree to do that "next week".  So....the next day, I hear this pounding on the front door.  It's UPS again.  They've got another package.  IT'S A BED!!!  hahaha.  It was so awesome - a beautiful cherry sleighbed.  I brought it in, and immediately set it up.  Four hours later (in which Ezekiel probably learned some new cuss words.  The first time I put the bed together, I put the rails on backwards.  sigh...) I had it completely set up and Ezekiel was SO happy.  He was so proud.  When Marty got home, he ran into the bedroom and made Marty come in and he showed him everything and how it was set up.  That first night, he INSISTED that he would be sleeping in Diego-go.  So we put him in and he fell asleep.  And Marty and I cuddled...until about 1 in the morning when Ezekiel lost his Nuk and cried.  Marty and I were both like "we miss him, let's bring him back" .. so we did.  We are shmucks I tell you.  But, he still is in love with his Diego-go.  Here he is, getting ready and super excited (he wouldn't look at the camera)


And here are some more of him, just because he looks so cutie-pie in his new ducky p.j.s
