Zack finally turns 5

A few highlights of today;

Zack requested cereal for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.

He didn’t want a cake.  Only ice cream and donuts.

We took cupcakes to his preschool class where I learned he has his whole class doing peak and pits every day at snack.

He wanted to leave school with me early and get shopping.  He wanted to buy his own gifts this year.  Can’t leave this important day to chance!

Lunch with dad where Zack charmed all the ladies at the restaurant.

The highlight of his whole day was when Katie came over to play.  I’ve never seen him so giddy!

After cereal for dinner we did gifts from siblings, grandma’s treasure hunt, and dessert….followed by playing with his new toys. 

He crashed in bed.  All in all a great day! 

Pictures are out of order….

Starting his treasure hunt.  Once he saw spiderman he had to go change his jammies into his spiderman shirt and his way too small jammie bottoms.

Present with lots of laughing and hugs.  The kids loved buying presents for Zack

Cereal for breakfast!  We read scriptures at 6:30am and Zack never makes it.  Today he was up and ready by 6:20!  Walked into the kitchen and yelled,, “It’s my birthday!!”

Cupcakes with his classmates.  He loves being the center of attention.

I took Zack to Toy’s R Us to pick out his presents.  He grabbed a cart and was ready to roll.  He had so much fun picking out gift after gift after gift.  Sadly, he wasn’t going to get all those.

To narrow things down we lined up all his gifts in the barbie aisle (so he wouldn’t be tempted to add anything else).  The he went on to narrow things down to four gifts, swapping them out many times.  It was absolutely adorable to hear his thought process.

His loot!  He also got a crown, sticker, and balloon.  He told everyone he saw it was his birthday and proceeded to tell them all about how 5 is after 4, and now he’s finally five and every single thing we had done to celebrate him that day.

Zack really wanted Chick-fil-a for lunch but it was crazy.  I finally convinced him to go to a Mexican restaurant we’ve been wanting to try.  He insisted he bring in one of his new toys.  He had it all set up and ready to play.  Thankfully it wasn’t a busy lunch time so he could be as loud as he wanted!  When the waitress asked if we needed any other toppings for my fajitas Zack yells “yes!  Sprinkles!”

When his birthday flan arrived he looked at the waitress with his cute expression and said, “you know, there’s a song that goes with this”  She was so sweet and sung Happy Birthday in Spanish and he grinned ear to ear the whole time.

Katie, the girl of his dreams that we worked so hard to buy her a ring last year, made his whole day by coming over to play.  He was absolutely giddy and wanted to show her everything.  She is so cute!

Spiderman treasure hunt!  He was pretty excited about it!

Kallie has been dying to get him his own necklace.  She found one that says soccer.  He loves it.  Not sure what I think about this…

He’s not allowed to walk on the counter top…but it’s his birthday and he knows he can do anything he wants…..he is too adorable!
