William is to an age that he has many opinions. For a long time he thought he wanted his birthday party to be at Fast Lanes following a family party there for Reese the week of Neal's celebration of life ceremony. He then thought about Chuck E Cheese. The girls were pushing for the indoor water park at the Bentonville Community Center. We went to the water park over Thanksgiving break so he could experience it and decide if he wanted to consider that. He had a blast there but immediately declared it was to be at Fast Lanes.
He had an absolute blast at his birthday party. It was so much fun to watch him really enjoy his friends at his own party and understand they were there to celebrate him for the first time. He partied hard and had so much fun with the most fun little group. We had family and some of our most treasured family friends there also which made it that much more rich and so special. It really was such a fun party.
We got him a basketball goal for his main gift from us and close family. When we revealed it he was completely underwhelmed. I think we built it up too much and he couldn't imagine what would be outside and larger than he is. I think he came to the conclusion it must be a Batmobile. When he opened his eyes and it was not a Batmobile he was sorely disappointed and let us know. Since he has played on the goal several times and loves it.
On his actual birthday Reese had a volleyball tournament. He was a trooper and sat in the gym for several hours. Sadly they lost. He got to watch his 2 favorite players though, Reese and Sara Weaver. We did take a break between games to go have pancakes and we went to Defy when the tournament was over. We had Batman cake together after dinner and all in all it was a great day.
