Five...wow! Really just can't believe that!
Anyway, to make sure we don't loose the anticipation of a little guy's birthday in and around the holidays, we have a ten day countdown that Alex rips off each morning when he wakes up!
 |
| Today's the BIG day!! |
Breakfast was anything he wanted: Cinnamon rolls with sprinkles!!!
 |
| He received his first serenade of the day at the breakfast table! |
From there, we geared up for some bowling and pizza! It was a fun morning and the kids loved to bowl!
 |
| He's FIVE! |
 |
Kendra came to the party and brought balloons!!!
(She was even thoughtful enough to bring Brecke two pink ones! ;) ) |
 |
| Sister was quite the independent little bowler! |
 |
| The best family picture we could get. It was a miracle to get THIS! |
 |
| Taking a break for a pizza party! |
Later in the day, we celebrated with a cake and some presents...
 |
| Excited about some new tools... |
 |
| Daddy told him he had to close his eyes and come to the garage... |
 |
| Checking out his new tool bench that Daddy built |
 |
| Organizing his new tools |
The day was super fun and all about what Alex wanted to do! We didn't even watch much football! I actually had to be reminded it was New Year's Day! That evening we headed over to Rantoul for some El Toro, but got there only to find out it was closed for the holiday. Popcorn for supper was his second choice!
