John is FIVE!

On September 3, John turned 5!  We couldn't believe our little man was already 5!  Where did those years go? Because John's birthday was our first day of school, we celebrated his birthday as a family over Labor Day weekend.  John chose to go to Canterbury Park and watch the horses race!  It was a gorgeous day at the races and a wonderful day as a family!


John had chocolate chip muffins in the shape of his favorite Cars characters for his birthday breakfast!


He was SO excited to get his Octonauts Gups!




On his actual birthday, John wanted a Mickey Mouse cake too, even though we didn't do the detailed frosting decorations for it.  He loved decorating it with me and was all smiles when it came time to blow out his candles!











We celebrated with our families the weekend after John's birthday with a a Mickey Mouse party!  After just being at Disneyland, John loved Mickey even more than he had before!  It was a wonderful celebration that included a pasta bar of spaghetti, ravioli and tortellini with a red and alfredo sauce, fruit and salad, all at John's request!








The fun of presents!


So sweet!









We are so blessed to have this kind, sweet, inquisitive and helpful little one to call our own!  We never imagined how much life would change the day he came into our lives and can't wait to see what his interests are and the person he becomes as the years progress!
