Happy 3rd Birthday Reid!

.....

The day before yesterday was Reid's 3rd birthday! I had to work all day, but I wanted to do something special for him when I got home. I called him during my lunch and told him that we would go eat anywhere he wanted because it was his birthday. I said, "ok, so where do you want to go eat tonight, Reid?" "It's a Donald's!!!" He shouted excitedly over the phone. He has always called McDonald's "It's a Donald's." I talked to my Aunt Johnna that afternoon and she decided that she would bring Grayson over to go eat with Reid and bring him his present. Here are some pictures of Reid opening his first birthday present this year. He was SO excited! Grayson got him the Moon Dough Magic Zoo and picked it out all by himself. He said that Reid had seen it on a commercial and really wanted it.

In the midst of all of the present opening, Johnna and I decided to surprise Reid with a visit to Chuck E. Cheese! The Chuck E. Cheese commercials always come on during Curious George and every time Reid stands up and yells, "I want to go to Chuck E. Cheese! Can we go, mom?" Reid's never been there and we decided that it was the perfect time to go! We loaded up and headed to OKC!

.....

As we pulled up Grayson told Reid that we were at Chuck E. Cheese's, but he still wasn't too sure about it all. As we walked in, Chuck E. came walking by with lots of kids following him and Reid went crazy! He started jumping up and down saying, "Chuck E. Cheese! Chuck E. Cheese!" He was so giddy that he could hardly talk!

We bought the party package, so Chuck E. Cheese came out and sang Happy Birthday to Reid. This is him looking as Chuck E. walked up to us!

Reid's really into monster trucks right now!

Sis finally woke up and got to play for a little bit!

Down the slide!

.....

Unlike Reid, she was NOT a fan of Chuck E. Cheese!

.....

It was such a fun-filled evening and Chuck E. Cheese was the perfect place to go for Reid's 3rd birthday! Reid wore his birthday crown the entire night and left with some cool sunglasses and I giant lollipop. The next day he told me that his favorite birthday present were his sunglasses from Chuck E. Cheese's! Success!!! We have a big baseball party planned for Saturday, so stay tuned for a Ruckus Recap of Reid the Rookie's baseball birthday!
