5 Year Old Birthday Party

5?!!! Not quite, but almost. I just can't believe my little babies are almost 5. What a great and amazing 5 years it's been. I really wanted them to have a wonderful birthday party before the baby came. So, on Saturday June 15th we had a beautiful morning and I was so excited. The boys couldn't wait and kept asking about it. At 2:00 the kids started rolling in and so did the clouds. It was the only 1.5 hours of the day that it rained and we had 20 kids and 7 adults in our house running and screaming (adults were only screaming). :) It was so much fun to have preschool friends, neighbors and other friends at the party and the boys had a blast. They were so happy running around with their friends and I could just see joy on their faces. We had planned a fishing game and a pinata. Luckily Jeff was able to do his fishing game on the porch and it went over very well and took up time. We weren't able to do my homemade beautiful pinata, but that's ok. Cake and ice cream were a hit and opening presents was fun too. Overall it was a success and the kids had a blast.

Owen at 5 years old

They found these ribbons at the party score when we were collecting party items and just had to have them. They loved wearing them. We didn't really have a theme. They wanted race car invites, a dinosaur cake and then we had these ribbons. I didn't care as long as they were happy, and they were!

Birthday at School

Owen and Chase got to celebrate their birthdays at school. They brought donut holes and got to wear crowns. They were very very exited about the crowns and knew exactly where they were kept and went to pick theirs out.

Preschool Graduation

Yes! My little boys have graduated from preschool. It was the best preschool in the world, in our opinion, and I'm so thankful for the opportunity we had to send the boys there. The church service on May 29th was just perfect. Each class sang a song and a little sermon was given. Chase and Owen walked in with their class and they all had their hands folded in prayer. They sang enthusiastically and played their kazoos and Chase and Owen did a little bottom shake at the end of the song. It was so fun to see how far they've come in one year. The sermon was about growth and how hopefully, if the school did it's job right, they grew in the Lord. I really feel C and O did. They learned so much about Jesus' love, the Bible, and how to treat others. We feel blessed.
