Preston's Birthday(s)

Preston has been counting down to his birthday FOREVER. He knew that it was after Christmas time so the day after Christmas he woke up thinking it was his birthday. Sorry kid, a few more weeks!
He actually had 3 birthday parties because he's a lucky boy! 

Birthday #1: his actual birthday. It started the day before his birthday, birthday eve, when he got to have a late night and stay up really late playing video games & sleep on the couch- something he really loves doing. He had school on his birthday and we all went to bring a treat for his class. He picked fruit roll ups and gogurt. 2 favorites. He picked steak for his birthday dinner with french fries. After dinner we went to Toys R Us for him to pick out a new toy, per our birthday tradition. And then stopped for donuts on the way home! 

If you wonder why he's got that strange look on his face it's because he was just crying right before I took the picture. I can't remember why but having late nights makes him a tired emotional boy. 

His birthday crown that he got at school. 

Donut time! 

Birthday #2- This one was with my side of the family! Preston is REALLY into Pokemon right now and wanted his cake to be a pokemon character. He changed his mind about 10 times about which one he wanted and finally the morning of the party decided he wanted some snake pokemon named Arbok. 

This birthday dinner he picked ribs for dinner. Expensive taste! We had mashed potatoes and corn bread along with them. 

Birthday #3- With the Reynolds side of the family celebrating the January birthdays. This menu was shredded beef/chicken tacos with bean dip and chips with ice cream sundaes and berry pie. Super yummy!!! He got so many great gifts at the party. Lots of markers/art supplies which he loves, some magnetic sand and new toys.
He insisted on wearing his birthday shirt for all 3 parties & eating off the birthday plate for all 3 as well. 

And finally his birthday radius is over! He's 5! So much older then 4.
He had his 5yr old checkup and he's doing great. Some ear issues that we are working on getting fixed, but other then that great! We got him registered for Kindergarten this week if you can believe it. He's pretty stoked for that and the idea that he gets to eat lunch at school and ride on a big bus with no seat belts.  Takes such little things to make him happy :)
