Zekie’s 5th Birthday Party
Zekie Peekie Bachman turned 5 whole years old on October 18th. Zekie, the lucky ducky that he is, got to celebrate his birthday over 3 days. On the Saturday before his birthday he got to have his very own friend birthday party…vs. the last minute family get togethers we usually do. We were host to 12 kids plus our 3 making it a very loud and wild party. Rob and I pulled the whole thing off all by ourselve and swore next time to majorly recruit crowd control. The festivities included making dum dum ghosts, having a dance party, destroying a pinata, eating cake, and finishing off with a treasure hunt. Madness. I assure you. PURE MADNESS.
Why would we attempt to throw such a party? Only for the pure satisfaction of our super social Ta-Zekes. Later that night we got to go to a recruiting event at BYU and see a Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband concert. Zekie decided he should clearly be the star of the show and for the last song (I Play The Banjo) his personal favorite…he ran up to the front and danced a wild frenzied footed dance as hard and fast as he could infront of a 300 person crowd. He was literally in the spotlight and received cheers and pats on the back from many a stranger. He also was personally complemented by the band at the end of the show and got a signed copy of their CD made out to him. It was most assuredly the crowning moment of his life thus far.
On Sunday the Primary sung Happy Happy Birthday to Zekes and he received a special birthday candy from the Bishop. Later in the evening Rob Sr. and Grandma came and played games, brought cupcakes and gave him the coolest train whistle blowing bank you’ve ever seen.
On his actual birthday, we went down to my parents and hit ANOTHER pinata and opened lots of presents including a huge blow up Christmas Thomas…Wooooo Wooooo!! Thanks Nani and Gong! Aunt Kelly was in town from Idaho, so it was especially fun to celebrate with her and cousins. So there you have it. The many celebrations of our wonderful Zekie boy turning five.
