Happy 5th Birthday!

I can not believe that my baby is five!  FIVE! How time has flown by.  He, however, thinks it is fantastic. Birthdays are for spoiling and yes, he was spoiled.  This year, I didn't throw him a friend party.  He didn't understand why we were sending out the envelopes to his friends.  Thankfully, we were able to snag a few friends for an afternoon movie and some playtime.  I couldn't hardly catch these boys for a picture.  They were too excited to play with the present they brought.

It's tradition to help make your birthday cake.  This year, he picked homemade chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Mmmm!   He wanted it to look like a muddy battlefield so we sanitized some army men and let him have at it.  Love his chocolate face!

See what I mean about being spoiled?  That heap of presents is mostly from Gram.  She just can't seem to help herself!

A few highlights about him:

• You love Curious George and monkeys (notice the shirt and the wrapping papers?)
• You ask to make cakes often because you just can't resist the licking the beaters and the bowl
• You really love preschool! 
• You're best friends are Eli and Abe.  You would play with them everyday, all day long if you could.
• You love Mexican food especially enchiladas. 
• You still have cute round cheeks that I can't resist kissing. 
• You love to wear that old bomber jacket of your uncles and black wellies every single day.
• You can't wait for your Dad to take you duck hunting.  
• You often ask for a Grandma Sharon day and if she is busy, you always ask for a Uncle Matt day.

Happy Birthday my little man!  I love you so much and you are such a joy to have in our home!
