Blake turned 5 yesterday! He wanted to open presents before school. What a surprise!
He got a camping Playmobil set from mom and dad.
He also got a Lego tow truck from mom and dad.
Grandma and Grandpa Bass got the boys matching BYU ties.
They also got him some books. We read them both right when he got home from school.
They also gave him some money and a Despicable Me 2 shirt.
And a John Deere shirt and more money.
Great-Grandma sent him a card and some money.
Grandma and Grandpa Johnson sent him some birthday money too.
It ended up being a pretty chilly day, but Blake was excited because that meant he could wear the long sleeve happy birthday shirt that still fit from last year. (Last year we were in Ohio visiting my folks on their mission and celebrated Blake's birthday out there so Grandma found this fun shirt for him.)
Blake wanted Dylan to take a picture with him.
Blake wanted to go to a restaurant. We rarely go out to eat, so it was a treat. He was even more excited to get some ice cream.
Blake took some cupcakes with him to school. They also sang to him. Blake wanted a strawberry cake with strawberry frosting, so Dylan and I made that while he was at school. I am so glad they don't ask for anything elaborate (knock on wood).
Today we went in for his 5 year check up. He is healthy and off the charts for his height. We were told that he wasn't going to need a shot, but the vaccination schedule for Texas isn't the same as California, so this meant he needed to get 1 shot. He was not happy about it. Now we are good to register for kindergarten on Thursday.
We got to Skype with some cousins, who wanted to wish him a happy birthday and asked when he was coming back to California. Thanks for all the birthday wishes...calls, texts, etc.
Blake is a fun kid. Crazy how fast they grow up!
