What fun we had for this birthday! Mike said "I think our family was looking for a reason to celebrate." after days of counting down to April 13th. for some reason we were all really excited. At preschool Andrew's class had a little ceremony where he had to walk around the room with a globe symbolizing his trip through a year. Repeated 5 times. Each time around I showed pictures and told about Andrew when he was in that year. It was really special.
The party later that evening was allot of fun. Andrew wanted a "How to Train your Dragon" theme, so I ordered a party kit that had everything you could need, including blowy things and balloons. I experimented with a bakery frosting recipe for the first time, and I think it needs a bit of improvement.
Grandpas and Grandma, Uncle Dan, neighbor buddies, and our family consumed pizza and pop, watched the present melee, and took it up a notch with cake and ice cream. Everyone had a blast, and our middle child got a fabulous few hours in the spotlight.
I can't believe Andrew is 5. Kindergarten in just a few months. Its so sad, and so exciting all at once.
