Birthday Week Kick-off

At our house, we celebrate birthday week and sometimes more! This year, we gave Connor the choice of a family party, like we have always done or to pick 2 friends and go to Monster Jam. Really?!? Like we had to ask : ) So Monster Jam was the weekend before his actual birthday and it kicked off the festivities! He wanted to take two boys from his class, one of which is a neighbor. The neighbor said he'd go with their other son, so here they are enjoying the dust in the arena! 

 Ken was good about taking and sending pictures, I preferred the pink truck!! As you can see, she turned out to not such a good driver. Are they stereotyping women drivers as part of the show?!?

 The boys seemed to enjoy the girl getting shot out of the canon best! They came back to our house and it is all they could talk about. One of them said, "She got shot out of the canon and didn't even died!"

 After the show we celebrated with the boys and our neighborhood family with pizza, cake, and ice cream. Easy for me and they all loved it!

Connor told Ken the next morning that it was a really nice birthday = success.
