Birthday, the end!

Whew - the end of the birthday posts for this guy! Here is a re-cap of his actual birthday!  It started with morning prayer at school - bright and early, 8:05 sharp!  He was the only birthday kid that day, so he got to run up there all by himself to get his pencil and handshake from the Assistant Principal.  He was SO excited to go up in front of the entire school.  I'm pretty sure that would've terrified me at that age!

1. Shaking hands with Mrs. Northington (Asst. Principal) while the Principal and other Assistant Principal looked on.  2.  Running as fast as he could when his name was called.  3.  Praying with his class at Morning Prayer

After morning prayer, it was off to the NC Museum of Natural Sciences for the morning with all of the Kindergarteners!  This was my awesome little group :)

Waiting is such hard work with you're only 5 or 6, but this group was great!  Brett was definitely hamming it up with all of the girls!

Brett and Mommy back at home, ready to celebrate his birthday one more time!

Can you say, "Excited?!"

We already did cupcakes for his party, and donuts for his school celebration, so I let him pick out a giant cookie cake (pre-decorated) at the grocery store.  I think his only specification was that it had to have a LOT of frosting.  And boy did it ever!!

I still cannot believe this kid is 6!  He has matured so much this year - he started Kindergarten, learned to tie his own shoes, learned to read, learned to write, learned to add and subtract, learned to count money, among many other things.  He is so sweet and inquisitive, and is a great big brother to Kate (most of the time)!   Happy 6th Birthday, Brett!  We love you!
