D2X_8595Who just celebrates their birthday on one single day? Not our son! In the week surrounding his birthday, Ben and I went to a teddy bear picnic with our friends, we three attended the Chuck Wagon Cook-Off at the Ag Museum, we baked cupcakes to take to school and celebrate with his class, and I took Ben to the MOPS Easter egg hunt.

On the actual day of his birthday Nathan, Ben, and I met Grandmom Loretta and Papa Bobby at Chuck-E-Cheese’s for a few fun-filled hours of games, games, and more games!

And the birthday party yesterday was a blast! All of Ben’s friends were able to attend; Nathan bar-b-q’d a fantastic hot dog and sausage dinner; the kids had a great time hitting the pinata (and then watching as Mandy made the final blow to send the candy pouring); the cake was another masterpiece from Nadler’s; and Ben was thrilled by every gift he opened. THANK YOU to everyone who was able to attend and for the wonderful presents! The toys have all been played with, we will use the money for our puppy manners class registration tomorrow, and the gift cards will be spent on summer clothes soon.

I’m still finding it so hard to believe I’m the mom of a 5-year-old. My baby is so big…
