Preston's 8th Birthday

Preston's birthday was last Thursday. Unfortunately, we are still dealing with the novel coronavirus.  That means we are still under lots of restrictions and are practicing social distancing. We were unable to gather with friends or have a big birthday party, which is what Preston really wanted to do. Fortunately, we found some creative ways to help Preston celebrate and he had a very good birthday!

We ordered a large birthday display for the front yard. Preston loved that when he was outside, people that were walking by wished him a happy birthday. I also asked friends and family to send videos to wish Preston a happy birthday, which he absolutely loved. We went over to Grammy and Granddaddy's house, so they could see Preston and Evan play outside and we could have lunch. Uncle Ron stopped by with a gift and took Preston and Evan for a ride in the bed of his antique truck. That was a HUGE hit! Our neighbors decorated their bikes and strollers and had a birthday parade. They even sang to him! To make the day extra fun, we did some fireworks that were leftover from last summer. Uncle Teddy, Aunt Rachel, Caroline, Alex and Andy came to watch. Of course all of this was all done from a VERY safe distance.
