It's
some body's birthday I wonder who...it's
some body's birthday - I think it's you!!!! Connor loves decorations and loves to plan how he is going to decorate the house for special occasions. So, he told Grandma that she was in charge of decorations for his birthday. A few days before his birthday they all went to the party store and picked out balloons, streamers and plates. The night before Connor's birthday the boys went to bed and Grandma and mommy had something up our sleeves. We blew up tons of balloons and stuck them to all the windows in the family room and kitchen. We put up banners and hung streamers across the windows and bookcases but we had one more idea which Grandma used to do for me when I was a kid. We took the streamers and hung them across the main doorway which leads into the kitchen. When Connor saw our handy work in the morning, you would have thought he won the lotto. He was the happiest boy...he told us that walking through the doorway was like going through the car wash. Needless to say the streamers had to stay up for a while. After celebrating at school with the requested munchkins, it was time to celebrate at home and I think we had a good time. First off, Connor was a superb big brother and let Garrett help open all of his presents.
They worked together so well.
My favorite part is that Garrett even bought Connor some presents (Shawn the sheep and Superhero books) on his own and they are some of his favorite. Emily is just happy when her big brothers are happy.
In honor of Connor's love of football, we got a football ice cream cake. Apparently it took a long time to open presents because when we returned to the kitchen, the cake was starting to melt away. Of course, that did not stop us. Please take note of Connor's crown which he made at school. He wore it for the entire month until it got scrunched on a car trip.
Back to the birthday cake...since the cake was a little soft, there ended up being a lot of melted cake on their plates and the boys couldn't let that go to waste. So they licked their plates clean which ended up all over their faces.
Then, Connor put his plate on his head.
This was very funny to them.
With all the fun, birthdays also mean our annual doctor appointment. At five years old, Connor is 45lbs and 46 inches tall. No wonder mommy and Grandma have such a hard time carrying you. And no shots!!! I hope you had a great day big boy.
