A little game of ‘stick the treasure chest on the map’…

A treasure hunt….with a little “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” mixed in… that ended with a treasure box piƱata.

And blowing out the candles and eating cake and ice cream!

It was a really fun party.  Thanks to everyone who came, Amy for coming early to help a stressed-out me, and for all of Carlos’ help!   I think everyone had fun, and Austin did too, even with his serious face!

I can’t forget my favorite decoration! (It was a late night last night…..)

Austin’s Birthday….The “REAL” Birthday

 

Austin’s birthday was on Monday and he turned FIVE!  I can’t believe he’s getting so big!  We only had about thirty minutes to do his birthday stuff because Carlos got home from work and then had to go take his math final. 

 

Jaiden made sure he didn’t leave the room while we set up his present outside…

Our wrapping wasn’t exactly elaborate….

….but he didn’t care!  I think he was pleased!

The first time riding…

I think he looks so cute here!

Jaiden was being so sweet and helping him.  He was also showing him the picture of the helmet on the bike saying the he needs to wear a helmet.  Jaiden told him that it meant he could get a matching helmet.  We went a let him pick out his own while Carlos was taking his test.

He also opened his and farm present from Grandma and Grandpa.  We’ve ordered the ants.  They supposedly bite!  Uh-Oh!

This was the basic, practice run for the cake that would be for his party.  I didn’t want to make a fancy one at first, but it’s what Austin wanted and I was convinced.  This wasn’t too hard at all. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday, dear Austin…happy birthday to you!

Austin didn’t want to take a bite…..so Jaiden did!

Then Zach did…………………………………..………………and Austin finally decided to!

We don’t have a party every year, but when they’re five, we do a birthday party, and that was today (Saturday.)

I’ll do a separate post about it.
