...another year older...

I cannot believe it...

My baby boy turned 5!!!

It's so sad for me to think he is growing so fast.  I hate the thought of him growing up and moving out of our home.  I dread that day.  Until then, I will continue to celebrate this sweet boys birthday, pretending I am as happy as he is, that he is another year older.  When in reality, I am one year closer to him leaving my side.  I tear up just writing that.  Don't get me wrong, birthdays are a BIG deal and SO much fun to celebrate.  I love a day devoted to celebrating amazing people in my life.  A day where I can overly express my love and appreciation for them.  A day when I have a little more of an excuse to give him a MILLION hugs and kisses (even though he still gets a little annoyed).

We celebrated with a couple parties (Star Wars was the theme he chose this year)!  How do I say no to his cute face?  I can't.  It's impossible.  That's why after less than two years in our home, we need something bigger.

This years favors for his friends

Ready to PARTY!

Busy playing with his new stuff.  This was the picture when he told me "Enough, mom... No more pictures!"

So it was his sisters turn... (she loved the balloons)

They're just too cute not to snap pic's of.

Another birthday was a success.  He enjoyed every minute of it.

Thanks to all that celebrated with us.  You all made it one to remember.

Love you all!

XOXO,
