Timothy Turns 5

We celebrated Tim's birthday the Saturday prior to his actual birthday. He wanted things fairly simple. A batman cake and a specific list of friends.

Savannah and Uncle Jim. I am not sure how she ended up on his lap, because Tim is generally possessive of Jim.

The kids' parties are always a good excuse for us to visit with our friends.

David read Tim his card all by himself.

Avry and Savannah sat like little princesses as Tim opened a bunch of boy toys.

Grammy made it into town just in time to celebrate her first grandson's 5th birthday!

Timothy was super excited about his entire Bears outfit, especially the helmet.

This was taken immediately before the ridiculous tears by the birthday boy. Why? Because notice David's lips. He was helping Tim blow out his candles and according to Tim, that is absolutely, under no circumstances, acceptable, at any time, for any birthday.

I am sure that my son with remember to warn David of this when (if) he invites him next year.

That's real life, folks, and sometimes it's just not pretty.

Update: Tim walked by the computer right after I initially posted this, saw the photo of David blowing out his candles and said, "I should have told David you aren't supposed to blow out other people's candles."


Timothy writing his own "Thank You" notes. I think he had them written and delivered faster than any of the girls have so far!!

Happy Birthday, sweet boy. You have filled our house and lives with joy and laughter in more ways than you could ever know.
