Keeping Up with the Joneses: Birthday Fun Week

Blake's birthday week was FANTASTIC. So much fun celebrating our Blake turning FIVE! He started off the week celebrating at school and got the customary birthday crown. His teacher said most kids keep it on for a few minutes, but Blake kept it on the entire day. And at home. And again the next day. Brady felt so left out I had to make him a crown out of construction paper.

We started off Blake's actual birthday the following day, with his favorite...donuts! I let him pick out what he wanted and one of the donuts he picked was an old fashioned. He wanted to try something "new" since he is five now. This boy makes me laugh. Of course he had to eat the donuts with his crown on.

And then was one of Blake's favorite parts... opening presents! Here he is opening Aunt Rhonda's present, which was a kid appropriate book all about the body and how it works. Since he wants to be a doctor he found this waaaay cool. Such a cool gift! (ignore the messy house in background)

And then came presents from mommy and daddy. He had been asking for two things for months. A cake set and a doctor set. So he got both and was a very happy boy.

Blake's birthday fell on a Tuesday and we were super psyched that daddy was able to take off work and spend the day with us! Brad = Blake's most favorite person in the entire world. After donuts and presents we headed to the Perot Museum, a place has been asking to go back to since we went in January. We had such a great morning there!! So much fun.

After the museum we headed to lunch. And since it was the day of all of Blake's favorite things, we headed to Taco Bueno. He was happy.

After Bueno the day of Blake continued to get one of his other favorites...frozen yogurt. My friend Kristin told us about the greatest place on earth, a frozen yogurt place that has the best indoor playground ever! Yogurt and playing was heaven to Blake and Brady!!

Then we headed to Grandma and Papa's house for piano lesson and play time. And then we let Blake pick wherever he wanted to go for dinner and he chose the world's most random place (at least to us). Dickey's BBQ. So to Dickey's we went!

And then, we were all so worn.out. What a special day!!
The fun continued later in the week and we headed to the spray ground park near our house with Blake's two best friends in the entire world.

And then we wrapped up the birthday fun week with the BEST DAY EVER! (That is what Blake called it). His party, that he requested to be at Pump it Up. We had a great time!

Sweaty but happy Blake
