Lego Celebration

He isn't 6 until tomorrow, but Grandma and Grandpa came down to help him celebrate a little early.

Since he is so into Legos these days, and I happen to know that most of the family is getting him Lego sets, I decided to stick with the theme (really, though, you can't be surprised by that).

So, last night I searched Pinterest for a Lego cake.  5 hours later I decided it was "close enough." All that matters is that he loved it.

Of course, being the over-the-top mom I am, I had the idea that he needed a Lego shirt to wear.

I finished 5 minutes before the grandparents pulled in the driveway.  Thomas loved it, and we decided if he kept it spill-free he could wear it again tomorrow to school on his actual birthday.

Grandpa didn't stop on the drive down, so poor Grandma was starving. We decided to share the kids and let G & G take them to late lunch.  Of course, we then remembered that Brian & Dawn had given us an Olive Garden gift card for Christmas--winner!

While daddy and I enjoyed a meal without kids, apparently the kids enjoyed their pizza and tokens and prizes at Stevie B's. Mom was kind enough to take my camera and get some pictures of them at the restaurant.

When we all got back we declared it "present time!"

Thomas loved opening all the Lego sets and decided that we were going to put them all together--tonight.

He was less excited to find that he could pick one for tonight and we would do the rest a little at a time over the next week.

While he loved his cake, Thomas had asked very nicely that we didn't sing the birthday song, but he agreed to blow out the candle.  He says the song is "boring," but I believe it is rather embarrassing with everyone staring at you. So, we just counted to three and he blew out his #6.

As always we are so thankful that Grandma and Grandpa make the 5 hour round trip to celebrate our kids birthdays. It means so much that they are willing to give up their time and suffer through a long card ride just share cake and birthday moments.  And, we thank our family who are always so generous to our kids.  He really racked up!
