Gus turned 5 on November 17th. Because his birthday fell on a Saturday this year, he got to celebrate the big 0-5 a day early at preschool. He packed up a bunch of his favorite books and toys into the birthday bag (pictured below), and shared all of these favorite things with his class.
He choose Vikings cupcakes this year.
On Saturday, his actual birthday, he awoke at the crack of dawn to make it to the rink in time for hockey team pictures.
He got 5 bucks for his 5th birthday. He also got breakfast to go and a mug of hot cocoa for the quick trip to the arena.
While he was at hockey, Nora and I spruced the place up a little.
We packed up the cake and headed to Chuck E Cheese for the official party.
Will and Chuck
Gabby came all the way from Mpls for the party.
Gus and Caleb as future boy band-mates.
He loved the special treatment and attention from Chuck E and gladly donned the birthday crown while we all clapped.
Gus and his buddy, Caleb, share the same birthday. I tried to get a photo of them with Chuck E, but they just wanted to be crazy.
Gus snagged 150 tickets from the whirling Ticket Tunnel.
The party and entire weekend was great. And he had a good warm-up to it. The weekend before, Grandma Vickie and Grandpa Dave came down for a pre-birthday party celebration.
Even though it wasn't her big day, Nora was all smiles. She sang Happy Birthday to Gus numerous times.
