Sam's 5th Birthday

I truly can't believe that my Little Sammy is 5 years old!! I guess time flys when your having fun:) He will be going to kindergarten this fall and it just blows my mind. I remember thinking a few months ago that Sam would be going to Kindergarten this year and he just didn't seem old enough. Well, in the past few months it seems like he has just grown up so much. He is definitely ready and can't wait to start Kindergarten. He is such a sweet and smart boy!! We are so happy that he is part of our family!!

We had a fun time celebrating his birthday. Keith started a tradition a few years ago of breakfast in bed so Sophie decided that she would be in charge of making the menu for Sam. She did a great job! We had a few of Sam's cousins and friends over for a little party. We had an Easter egg hunt, colored eggs, played pin the spider on the web (I know it is quite the contrast of themes... Easter and Spider Man, but this is what Sam wanted to do) and had a fish pond.

We asked Sam what he wanted to do the night of his birthday and he said that he wanted to order Chinese food and watch a movie. (A few months ago we had a chinese themed night where we watched Kung Fu Panda and ate Chinese so I guess this is where he got the idea from) I really think that the kids like to try to eat with the chopsticks more than actually liking the food. We had a GREAT DAY!!

Here is the Birthday Breakfast Menu. Sam's favorite thing in the whole world to eat is watermelon!!! If I ask the kids during the day what they want for dinner, 99.9% of the time Sam will say Watermelon.

BIRTHDAY BOY!!


This is Sam and his cousin Katlyn. Katlyn's birthday is April 7th, she just turned 5 too. Actually 5 of the grandkids birthdays are in April. It is a crazy month full of lots of Birthday Parties.
