After all of the birthday parties I've gone to, it was finally my turn! Since we stayed at home for Christmas this year, we had my birthday party just a few days before my actual birthday. Just about all of my friends (there were a lot) were able to come to my party!
We have my party at Champion Kids - there was all sorts of things to play on, including a foam pit with a rope swing!
Clara liked the trampoline of course - they made her tired and she had to rest!
After the running and jumping, we had pizza and pirates booty!
And of course cake! Mom and Dad took a break from making cakes this year and I got a Cars 3 cake!
Since I was the birthday boy, I got to sit in the giant blow up chair!
Ollie tried it out with me!
Everyone sang me happy birthday and I made a wish! After cake we got to swing at a pinata to get it to break and spill candy all over! (No pictures - all the grown ups were too busy making sure the pinata was the only thing to get hit!)
Here's the best group picture Mom got from the party - Emmaline, Spencer, Elliott, Trent and Ward. We've known each other since we were tiny babies!
When we got home, I got to open up all of my gifts from my friends!
Here I am on the rope swing!
Here's my friends singing me Happy Birthday! (Landon thought it was a little loud - or maybe just bad singing by everyone!)
During the holidays, our school did a Holiday Sing for all of the parents! This year we performed in the lobby of the GP Center in front of the giant Christmas tree! We sang holiday favorites like "Smells Like the Holidays" and "Jingle Bells". This was the first year that both of us participated in the performance - usually one of us decides to sit with Mom or Dad instead! We learned the songs very well - our best practice time took place in the car on the way to school or home!
We wore our holiday best for the special performance!
Here we are - Clara's class sat right next to my class!
Here I am with some of my best buddies - Spencer and Elliott (twins)!
Then Henry and Clara wanted in on the picture!
And then even more of my friends!
Here I am with Hunter, Henry, Spencer and Elliott! Our last year all together!
When it's nice enough to play outside, I always ask to see if my friend Mila can play! She lives 2 houses down from us and will be starting kindergarten with me in the fall. We have lots of fun together!
The waterfall (without water) is a fun place to explore in the backyard!
Sometimes our whole family gets together with Mila's family! Last time we had dinner there, we had a picnic on the floor and watched a movie!
Generally when I'm at school, I'm smiling! I have some pretty good friends at school! And of course, I have Clara there, too!
Henry is one of my best buddies at school! I missed his birthday party while I was in Kansas City so Mom and I treated Henry and his mom to a birthday breakfast at Waffle House before school!
At school one day we had a pajama day and ate waffle sandwiches!
Here's my class in our PJs!
Over the holidays we had camp days and on camp days we can bring in an electronic device. I surprised Mom with a fun selfie on her iPad!
The GP Center puts up a bunch of Christmas trees - Clara and I had fun looking at them everyday!
And they put up a GIANT Christmas tree in the main lobby!
