The Birthday Celebration

Preston’s actual birthday was a big deal. I baked cupcakes for his party in school. He celebrated with all women-my mother, myself, Kelly and Eileen and Katie.  We started out opening gifts, then it was off to Longhorn for dinner and then back to our house for more gifts.  Clearly this child is not spoiled.

Because this was his Golden Birthday (6 on December 6th), Kelly made a golden basket!

He also got an adorable Build a Bear with an extra outfit from Eileen and Katie and Kelly also bought him Mr. Popper’s Penguins.  My mother bought him clothes and books and toys, but nothing was more exciting than this-

I had no idea what to get him this year.  So I bought him a flat screen HDTV.  You know, the typical gift for a 6th birthday.

This weekend Mel and Katie came down to celebrate the festivities at Pump it Up.  This year his party was not cancelled either by his father.  We had a great time today!

After the party we went to Buffalo Wild Wings with Katie, my parents, Kim and DJ and the boys. This weekend was also Miss Faith’s baby shower and we bought our Christmas tree.  The branches still have not fallen, but DJ got it in the stand for me and the boys did have fun picking it out.  So I’ll attempt getting the lights on it tonight! 

And I broke down and decided to do Christmas cards, but I am only going to send out a limited number this year.  I will post a copy here though.  Hope everyone is enjoying the last two weeks before the big day!!! I’m more than halfway done shopping-yippee!!!
