Celebrating 5 years!


We spent most of the day celebrating Drake today. This week has been super busy with VBX every night at church, getting ready for Uncle Eric and Sarah's wedding this weekend and Aunt Kara, Zane and Annabeth have been here all week. The kids have been having a good time playing together with less arguments than in the past. By golly, I think they're growing up! So, today started off with Grammy making Drake his favorite breakfast- Cherry Cheese Ring. Followed by lots of playing outside. After lunch, he had time for a short rest before the birthday guests started arriving. From 1-3, we had a slightly chaotic birthday party including some time on the slip-n-slide, trampoline jumping, pinanta breaking, cupcake eating, water balloon tossing and of course present opening. I think Drake really enjoyed having a day all his own with lots of friends and fun. Of course, the night capped off with VBX, where all 450+ kids sang Happy Birthday! I can't believe my little guy is FIVE already. Seems not so long ago we were spending evenings bouncing him to keep him from wailing. Several times today Gabe and I said, five sounds so much older than four! Four seems like still just in the late toddler stage. Five is school-age. Wow!
