Happy 5th Birthday, DREW!!!

A few weeks ago, we had Drew's 5th birthday party at Pump it Up. It was seriously the easiest party I've done yet. Well worth the money. All I brought was a cake and it was a drop-off party where parents dropped their kids off and now Drew and his friends are old enough to have fun by themselves and I can just enjoy, take pictures and be there. It was only David and I there with a dozen jumping kids and the party assistant who was great. They jumped and played for an hour, then ate cake and Drew opened presents. (I didn't even mess with pizza this year). Drew wanted a chocolate Thomas cake so I got him one and it was the highlight of his party for sure. He doesn't even like cake that much but he loves the blowing out of the candles, everyone singing and making his wish out loud (which was to go to MawMille's house in Texas every day). Poor kid, he really doesn't ask for much.

Anyway, we are so fortunate to have this little boy as our son and he makes us smile each and every day. Our little boy is not so little anymore with turning five (officially yesterday) and going to kindergarten in the fall. He's really become much more independent this year doing a lot of things all by himself. He is a joy to be around and we adore him.

Yesterday on his actual birthday, we were able to meet up with friends at the park for playgroup in which Drew requested chocolate chip cookies, went to the library and checked out some new Thomas movies and played a Clifford phonics game on the computer there, and he chose McDonald's for dinner. It was a fun day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DREW!
