WOW! Our little man is 6 years old! This was probably the most excited he's ever been about a birthday... he knew it was coming and he was so proud of turning another year older.
We had his birthday party a couple of weeks early so it wouldn't be so close to the start of school. We celebrated at Pump It Up where the kids ran wild for the afternoon. As you can see from the pictures, they thoroughly enjoyed tackling the Daddies. Preston decided he wanted a dinosaur party this year, so we had a dinosaur cake, dinosaur goodies and Preston picked out a dinosaur shirt for the occasion. Of course, he wouldn't be a 6 year old if he didn't admit that his favorite part of the day was "opening presents"! He got tons of great stuff; Preston is so blessed with so many friends who love him. This year he's especially into Star Wars, dinosaurs and pirates. He also loves playing his Game Cube; and he got a couple of new games to play.
On his actual birthday Mommy went up and had lunch at his school. It was so weird seeing him walk around in that seemingly huge school. He was in the cafeteria eating like a big kid with all of his friends. The Kindergarten classes eat lunch at 10:30am... so we actually had breakfast rather than lunch; Mommy picked up sausage biscuits and apple pies from McDonald's. They don't serve Happy Meals that early!
After school we spent the evening doing more of his favorite things... including soccer practice, dinner out, and presents from Mommy and Daddy. And then we even got to hang out with one of his best friends, Avery, that wasn't able to make his party... he was so excited; we thought they were going to choke each other hanging all over one another.
Needless to say, he's already planning his 7th birthday! Thank you again to all of our wonderful friends who helped us celebrate this milestone.
