A VERY HAPPY 5th Birthday

Our dear sweet first born turned five years old today.  Where does the time go??!!  He is so big and tall he looks even older!

Jack had an incredibly happy birthday that was action packed.  It began with Oma and Opa bring over some Dunkin Donuts (a recently discovered favorite treat for the boys).  Before he even had donuts he ripped open his presents and had to put on his new shoes immediately.  My fashion guru was extremely pleased!!

Then he had preschool.  He always likes school, and today was no different.  He got a cool straw and sticker from his teachers that made his day.

After lunch he opened his presents from Grandma and Grandpa.  He was very generous and let his brothers help him open.  They all had fun checking everything out. 

Then we made frosting for his cake.  We put the frosting on and then Jack got to design the top...as in put whatever sprinkles he wanted on the cake.  The final masterpiece was a yellow cake with mini chocolate chips, yellow whipped cream frosting with two different silver ball sprinkles, crown sprinkles and blue sugar on top!!

After that creation we headed outside and played with his new airplane glider launcher he got from his grandparents (Sean and I went to Learning Express the other day and made our selections with his gift card).  Jack and Ewan LOVE these. 

Once play time was over it was nap time.  Jack and Ewan went to sleep relatively quickly.  Sean, however, never did go to sleep.  I tried FOREVER, but he just would not sleep (and he was up EXTREMELY early today).

I actually had to wake up Jack and Ewan to leave in time for the pumpkin patch.  We picked out some pumpkins, took a few pictures, met somebody to sell the pack 'n play and then we were off to Oma and Opa's.  We played there for a short while and then met Daddy at Sumo for a birthday celebration dinner.

To say the boys liked Sumo (it was their first time there) would be putting it mildly!!  Their eyes lit up when the chef came to the table and cooked for them.  Food, fire, SHRIMP, an aquarium....their first kiddie cocktails.  Ah, so many new and exciting experiences!!

After dinner we went back to Oma and Opa's to eat our cake.  We headed home and Jack opened his presents from Mommy, Daddy, Ewan and Sean.  The birthday boy is now in bed, a very happy five year old.

Happy Birthday to our big boy!!
