Legos, Bikes & Birthday Cake!

The birthday boy had a pretty jam-packed celebration on Monday!  First we surprised him with a trip to Legoland with his cousins, Marseille and Amelie.  Then home that night for a pizza dinner (his fave), orange birthday cake (a mistake) and finally the opening of his birthday present (a hit).  Here are the highlights of Jack's birthday in pictures...

LEGOLAND!  One of the perks of living in SoCal is that there are tons of family-friendly attractions right in our backyard.  And we get to enjoy them in the most amazing of weather - it was 70 and sunny with a slight breeze.  Perfect!


 Jen and the girls...


This was probably Jack's favorite attraction.  He actually got to drive the car free style - no tracks, no breaks.  And he did awesome steering around the track.  You should have seen him maneuvering around the other cars! He seriously thought he was Lightening McQueen!  I could hear him singing "Life is a Highway"...


Flying a helicopter with dad...


Cousin love...

Time to get wet...

 

Daddy took one for the team while I stayed dry on the sidelines.  Someone had to operate the camera!


Adorable...

Back on dry land!  Having a churro with Amelie in San Francisco...


Building Lego racers...Uncle Christian might have helped a little!  M's car actually won the race!


Jack didn't exactly understand the concept of letting your car race down the track...


Back at home and time for cake!  So I sent Christian out for a small, simple cupcake since we're having a party with a big cake for Jack on Saturday.  He came home with this orange concoction...


Jack seemed to enjoy it...


So did Gavin....until later that night when we were all covered in orange puke...good one dad...


Sweet helmet dude!  Jack actually got this helmet last weekend.  He picked it himself.  This is how they presented it to me when they got home from the store.  Such a Cali-kid now!  He thought it was his only birthday present but we had a surprise for him...


Jack's first real bike!  This was all Christian's doing.  At first I thought it was garish but now I think it's really cool.  And I think Jack looks great on it.  It's a 16" bike which is made for 5-8 year olds but since Jack is a beast he's just going to have to learn to handle it...


My dudes!  I honestly think Christian likes the bike more than Jack does.  He probably wishes he had it when he was a kid...


Jack is already a pro.  Possibly a future in BMX racing...
