Happy Birthday to our Sweet 6 year old!

On Thursday, November 27th, Pierce turned six years old. Can you believe it? It seems like yesterday he was a baby. Since he was unfortunate enough this year to have his "actual" birthday on Thanksgiving day, we decided to make it a "week long" party. He didn't have any objections to that! :) We started with a day for the "boys" on Saturday. His best friend Jack came over around noon and they played all day. Pierce has so much fun playing at home, that he really didn't want to go anywhere. Sierra helped me decorate the house with streamers and balloons, and we also had a big chocolate chip cookie cake for him. Later in the day, he and Jack played at McDonald's, then we all went to see Bolt the new Disney movie. After the movie, Pierce opened presents and we all had cake and ice cream and Jack slept over. Turned out to be a really fun day and one that Pierce has talked about all week. On Tuesday night, Pierce, Will (his "other" best friend) Brett and Will's dad Andy all went to play Laser Tag. They had a blast! Although, I'm not sure who had more fun - the boys or the dads?? I stayed home with Sierra and we made homemade pizza and watched the movie Home Alone 3. Fun night! Will stayed over Tuesday night because there was no school on Wednesday for the Thanksgiving break. Wednesday evening we headed to the Retreat Center in Norman where we spent most of our Thanksgiving with Brett's family. We stayed until 10pm that evening - and again Will was able to go with Pierce...another fun night! Thursday, which was his birthday, we went to my grandmothers for lunch...she made Pierce a cake and we all sang Happy Birthday. We then headed to my mom's where she had more presents...and then off to the Retreat Center to spend the night. What Pierce didn't realize was we had already called Will's dad to see if we could go pick him up so he could spend the night with Pierce again at the Retreat Center. When we picked Will up, the boys watched Santa Claus 2 and The Grinch that stole Christmas in the car and laughed all the way there. At the Retreat Center, Pierce opened more presents, everyone sang Happy Birthday and then he had birthday cake. Talk about a birthday! Hope he doesn't expect a week long birthday party every year! haha

It was really fun and the kids had a great time. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Pierce and Jack
