He's FIVE!

Hard to belive my boy is 5. Five years have gone by so fast.

But I'm so happy to say that this is the first year that he was excited for his birthday and I mean EXCITED! So excited,  I was so excited for him ♥

This year worked out, his actual birthday was on a Friday and his party would be Sunday. So I planned to decorate and leave everything up for the weekend,  super excited to see his reaction in the morning (totally like Christmas morning).  He would wake up to balloons all over his bedroom floor and come down to more balloons and the living room decorated and waiting  for him amongst all that was his brand new "Big boy" bike.  Oh boy, was he ever surprised and what a way to start your birthday!! 

So his birthday started with a bang and was a busy day. His birthday dinner choice was lasagna, salad and "red" cupcakes. It was an I.B.I day, his lil buddy "K" was over for the day, I had to make a lasagna and his cupcakes.  Thankfully I'm an early riser and got the cupcakes made before 8am so all I had to do was decorate them, which was done when he was doing his IBI activities and "K" was happy to join in the activities. So it all worked out!!   The day was busy but my boy was happy and super excited and dinner was awesome (if I must say so myself!) 

For his birthday party he asked for "a really good chocolate rectangle cake" so I made that and decorated it late Saturday night.  Thankfully chatting to my sister on the phone. I forgot about him wanting party games "pin the tail on the bus" to be exact so around 1 am I was colouring and getting this bus ready. It turned out small but worked just fine. His birthday party was good, he was happy and super excited and managed to do so well with a house full.

This year's birthday was AWESOME and one of the best Mommy moments!!! Hard to believe I have a 5 year old ♥♥
