A Three Day Birthday Marathon!

On January Fourth Caleb turned 5! I know, I can't believe it either. Time flys! Anyway, He was pretty lucky this year because he had four birthday parties. The first one was on his birthday, which landed on a Sunday, with the primary singing to him and getting the exciting pencil from the artificial birthday cake. I don't know what it is about being sung to but he couldn't wait. I watched him was they sang to him. It was so cute to see him with his big smile on his cute face.

Mom and dad gave Caleb an addition to add to his new airplane set that Santa gave him. He was really excited when he opened it!



The next day at school he also got sung too, received a bag of gifts from his class, and gave out treat bags to all of his buddies. He loves to be the star of the show. That evening our plans changed a bit. We had decorated our house with balloons and streamers for the family birthday party with cousins. Unfortunately, the weather was awful and the traffic was a mess. So, we packed up the games and the pinata and celebrated it at my moms house so the family wouldn't have to sit in traffic. We had a fun time!

My mom wanted to make a cute cake for Caleb. She put these cute cars on it depicting a race track. She is so creative! I couldn't make a cake like this.

Izzy enjoyed her cake and ice cream on the counter. She was too interested in her food to look up at me as I took this picture.

Opening gifts is the funnest part of birthdays!

The kids played pin the tail on the donkey and had fun with the pinata. It was so fun to have my sister Heidi here with her three kids from California here to celebrate Caleb's birthday. He loves spending time with them. It was so nice to have all 13 cousins there to celebrate his party.

Thanks mom for letting us have the party at your house!

The last and final party was at my house with Caleb's little neighborhood buddies. They pretty much did the same thing that we did at my mom's house. He loves his little friends and really wanted a party with them. How could I say no?

It was a long couple of days and I am glad they are over. I haven't been feeling very well so it's nice to have his birthday behind me. I'm so grateful for my sweet little Caleb! He brings more joy to my life than I ever imagined. He brightens my day every time I see his big blue eyes and his amazing smile. How could I have been so blessed to be a mom to the cutest little boy in the world?

I love you Caleb! Happy Birthday!
