Turning five is a BIG deal! Daniel decided to stretch out his birthday as long as possible and sqeeze in as much fun as one little boy can handle. I think he did a pretty good job!
First came the all-important date with Grandma. It is a special rite of passage in our family. Turning five inaugurates the annual birthday date tradition. Daniel had in mind exactly what he wanted to do...eat lunch and pick out Hero Factory and Lego toys. Grandma did not disappoint. In fact, she threw in extra surprises like a trip to the Classic Fun Center and ice cream from Dairy Queen.
For our family celebration, Daniel chose to go to the ever-popular Chuck E. Cheese. Yay for us! He got to invite his buddy Taylor, and Grandma and Grandpa Mullins and Granny Tanner even joined us. Being the high class establishment that it is, Chuck E. Cheese provided us with our own table-side magician. The kids were mesmerized. I have to admit, even the adults were impressed.
On his actual birthday, Danial FINALLY got to open present. I think the wait nearly killed him. He was so excited to get his own razor scooter. Man, that boy can tear around on it! He also spent hours putting together his bionicle machine (which was far too complicated for me to be of any assistance). The day was capped off with this stunning (move over Ace of Cakes!) hotwheels racetrack cake lovingly created by his artistically-challenged mother. Good thing beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He thought it was awesome!
Happy Birthday Daniel! You are still our best blue-eyed boy!
