The Birthday Door
Rowen didn't wake up too early on his birthday but it was early :). He came into our room at a full run, stood right next to my head and whispered, "Mom, there is birthday paper and balloons on my door!!!". I said, "Happy 5th Birthday sweetie! Daddy and I did that." Then he climbed into bed and snuggled up with his mama. In my opinion, it was the perfect way to start his 5th year.
Soon after, Pax woke up and we all got out of bed to make a birthday breakfast. But before heading downstairs Rowen noticed the birthday gift sitting in front of his door.
The Birthday Boy opening up his first (of many) birthday gift for the day.
A little big but it will last him through the summer- maybe :). This boy is growing so fast, I can't keep up on the clothes. He can't wear 5T in very many brands anymore but the boys xs or s are just a tad too big.
We enjoyed pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Soon after breakfast, Grandpa came over to give Rowen a birthday gift.
Mid-morning, Daddy and Rowen went to see a movie. It was a huge hit- mostly the popcorn and candy though!
We had a healthy lunch with Grammy, then Uncle TJ, Aunt Erin, and Henry came over to spend a few hours with us and to give Rowen a birthday gift. Uncle Shon also came over to say Happy Birthday and to give Rowen a gift. Gifts galore! We played the rest of the afternoon and evening.
It was FINALLY dinner time!!! Rowen chose french toast with peanut butter and chocolate chips on top! His all time favorite food. We put candles in the french toast, sang Happy Birthday and then enjoyed our very sweet dinner :). Rowen was beyond thrilled- the point exactly!
And it wouldn't be a birthday without a chocolate dessert, right?! Brownies and a BIG 5 candle!
It was a very special day. Rowen brings such energy, imagination, and of course LOVE to our family. We are amazed by this little boy each day. We love our 5 year old!
