We had a couple different events to celebrate this weekend up in Dallas! We had an early birthday weekend for Nico with Papa and Grandma, and David also had his 20th high school reunion!
He slept most of the way there. He must have known it was gonna be a party weekend! I'm still such a sucker for taking pics of him when he's sleeping in the car, because he's just so cute!
As soon as Papa and Grandma got home, he wanted to open his birthday gifts right away!
He got a toy car, under armour outfit, a spiderman helmet (opened early from Grandma Phil), and........a spiderman scooter!
Of course the scooter was taken out right away to cruise around the cul-de-sac.
He then invented a game with his new car to try to steer it into its "garage."
Dave and Cindy are always laughing about his finger point when he talks.
We went to Mia's for dinner!!! Where else?! Nico entertained us at the end of dinner by doing the Madagascar dance up on his chair. Always fun times here. And we even sat at our usual Jimmy/Jerry table.
Sleepy time with Sadie. Cindy said that Nico is always wanting to know if Sadie actually sleeps with him, so she had me take this picture to show him. Ha!
After dinner on Friday, we went to one of David's reunion events at the House of Blues. They rented out a room and a Beastie Boys cover band was playing that night too. I felt like I was on a different planet, as they were all sooo pumped over this music and going crazy! I knew a couple of the songs, but I definitely was not on their 80's band level. It was hilarious watching David mouth word after word. He was in his element that night for sure. I wish I would have recorded him. Plenty of laughs.
On Saturday, Nico had the day to himself with his grandparents while David and I were out and about. We stopped by Coach Zea's popcorn store to say hello before driving back by our old home and neighborhood. Can't believe how much has changed in just 2 years with stuff built up everywhere! It didn't really feel like home. We then landed for the afternoon at Kelly's Eastside. It was right next to the Allen Event Center, where David's reunion event was that night. He met up with a handful of his old friends there, and they had a blast catching up and bringing up all of their old memories!
On Sunday, we had David (and Nico's for that matter) favorite breakfast, chipped beef on toast! We hung around the house most of the day before the big plans for the night, dinner at Benihana's. David used to go to here every single year for his birthday with his family. Cool to have Nico joining in on that tradition too!
He had his ice cream at the restaurant, and when we got back to Dave and Cindy's for the night, it was time for his birthday cake!!
