My boy is 5....January 30 marked the date. My kids' birthdays make me nostalgic and misty-eyed and sentimental. We celebrated for 2 weeks, between the friend party, the family party, and the real event. The celebrations are over, and my boy is so happy to be 5!
Blue Velvet cupcakes and blue cake balls!
Musical Chairs with friends.
The Balloon Game (invented by yours truly).
Pinatas are a necessity for birthday parties!
The candy!
Ella, Nora, and Audrey having lunch.
It was such a fun day!!
Nora enjoying cupcake and ice cream.
After cake and ice cream, it was time to open gifts.
We put foam gliders in the treat bags, and what better place to try them out than our loft? The kids (and moms) had a blast!
The day after we celebrated with friends, we got to celebrate with family. Here is Audrey on Grant's shoulders, enjoying the view.
William loves airplanes! I had fun making this runway cake.
Grandma Iris looking on as William admires his birthday cake!
Make a wish and blow out the candles....
Family!
Round 2 of gift-opening. What a lucky boy!
Mummi Alice, Auntie Marjia, and William.
This boy loves Legos!
William got a bike from us for his birthday. He learned to ride (training wheel-free) in less than an hour!
I am so proud to be this boy's mother! I hope he has a wonderful 5th year full of adventures, learning, and growing! Love you William!
Happy Birthday William. Your parties look pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteTurning 5 really is monumental. I think partially because kids are old enough to realize it's significant.

Oh and blue velvet cupcakes are new to me. I'll be putting those in my "wouldn't it be cool to make someday" file.
