Celebrating Reid's 6th Birthday!

Instead of a friend party this year, we took Reid and Georgia Kate on a quick trip to Grapevine for a visit to Legoland!  We left right after his baseball game last Saturday.  We were only gone a little over 24 hours, but we could tell that the "big kid" time was really good for them.  First, we stopped at a delicious Mexican restaurant on our way into town.

They both took late naps in the car on our drive, so after dinner we found a 

go-cart place.  This ended up being their favorite part of the trip.  They LOVED it.  We probably could have just gone home after that! We ended up staying there until 11 pm and looked like completely irresponsible parents.  You only turn six once! :) We got some ice cream on the way back to the hotel and then Reid very proudly stayed awake until midnight before he crashed.

We slept in the next morning and then grabbed a yummy breakfast before going to Legoland!  

The kids liked Legoland, but they liked the go-carts better. :) We also went to the Aquarium next door to Legoland before hitting the road to head back home.  We stopped in College Station to have dinner at Blue Baker, which is always a treat!  

Reid enjoyed picking out his own birthday gifts from us!  

It was a great little getaway, but we all missed this guy!  He loved his time with Mumsie and Popsie!

Going to bed for the last time as a 5 year old...

Reid woke up on his birthday to the "Happy Birthday" banner, birthday balloons, presents (even though he already knew what they were), and the birthday plate for the special breakfast that he didn't end up eating. It was so sweet to see his smiling face peeking around the corner in the morning! :) Chris went into work a little late so that he could be at home when Reid woke up.  

This is the first time that Reid had school on his birthday!  He was so excited to bring football cupcakes to school.  I didn't like being away from him all day, but I knew he was having a blast being at school with his friends.  

The celebration continued when we had dinner with Mumsie, Popsie, Grandma, Grandpa, Alli, Perry, and Thomas at Alicia's!

This picture represents so much.  The boy that used to be terrified of the "Happy Birthday" song requested that the waiters sing to him!  I couldn't believe it!  He loved every second of it.  He has grown so much this year!  

We loved celebrating our big birthday boy!!!
