Party Time!

Well, look who decided to become a handful! Five years old. Wow! My baby.


He had a busy day filled with gifts from his sibs . . . a paper boat ring of cards plus snow walker from Caelan, a puppy and blanket from Gab (who spent all her ducky bank savings on her gift), and a much-wanted Lego set from big bro (which he paid for in part :) We went to the library, we went out to eat at the Mexican restaurant . . . G had his song sung to him, got to order a glass of pop, and enjoyed a complimentary birthday dessert. Then daddy came home early from work and we busted into the strawberry "car show" cake (complete with Jedi force protection) . . . as usual, I forgot the ice cream. When will I ever learn?? :)

Next stop was the living room to open gifts from Grandma Judi and mom & dad. When the paper settled, he found a pair of Lego jammies, a paintable football, a police car that drives, and a couple of warm winter shirts. Not a bad day for the little man!

He spent the day before his birthday doing a dance and singing, "It's my last day of four, it's my last day of four!" and the day of his birthday doing an equally silly dance, singing, "I'm fi-ive, now I'm fi-ive! I'm the birthday boy, I'm fi-ive!"

Wow. Five.
