He waited for the rest of the family to wake up before diving into his presents (maybe that's just because I had them hidden away in the closet).
He was excited but still able to let Tim help him with some of the unwrapping.
And then completely enthralled with his gifts
Thankfully, that left him occupied for the morning so we could get ready for his birthday party in the afternoon. We decided to have just a small party this year (not that they've ever been that big) because he's had some trouble getting overwhelmed at the larger parties he's attended (and basically clung to me for 3/4 of the party).
The theme this year was Legos since Nick is all about them right now.
The kids did a little free building and then headed outside to get some energy out. Thankfully, the weather totally cooperated and was FABULOUS!
After a bit, we headed inside for a Lego game where everyone had a secret item to build and the rest of the group had to guess what it was
Manny and his flying machine
Nick and his robot
Ben and his fast car
Caleb and his spaceship
Owen and his airplane
Lauren and her rocket
Greg made a really cute Lego cake but we didn't remember to take a picture of it before it was devoured...
The last activity was a treasure hunt for the goody bags (yep, stole this idea from Aaron's party!) which burned off a little of the sugar
Nick had a fabulous time and was so well behaved and even gracious. Thanks so much friends for a great birthday!
