After seeing all of McKenzie's birthday celebrations, this boy couldn't wait for his birthday. He had to go to preschool that morning, which wasn't awesome, but we still found ways to celebrate. He got to choose his special birthday food. We decorated the house just for him.
We went to Chick-fil-A for lunch. We couldn't dine-in so we went to the Orchard to eat. It was colder than we were expecting so the boys hid under their tent while they ate. Hey, it's one way to enjoy the meal! We went to Monkey Bizness, and while we could only play for about a half hour, it was still worth the visit.
He got some silly string and we decided that the best way to use it was to let him attack his siblings! They ran away from him while he squirted them without mercy. It was a great present from the big kids to their brother.
We were lucky enough that Coleson was able to come over and play. Since it was Daxton's family year he didn't have the same scope of party that McKenzie did, but it's always nice to have friends over to play.
After much pleading and begging (from all three boys) we decided it was time for presents and cake. Daxton had the best expressions as he unwrapped his presents. He must have gotten everything he wanted!
Jeremy was in charge of the cake again, and he didn't disappoint. We went ahead with the Mario theme. Luckily Daxton had some figurines so that Jeremy didn't have to sculpt all of them.
That is one happy birthday boy!
Jeremy really wanted Daxton to wear his "cool dude" sunglasses when blowing out his candles. I wasn't sure why...until Jeremy reached forward at the last minute to light one last fuse.
It totally exploded! He had put a fire cracker in the yellow mystery box! You can tell that Coleson was a little worried by the whole thing, but the other boys just laughed and laughed.
It turned out to be a great birthday for this kid. Five years old! Can you believe it?
