Can you believe we are on the boys' birthday eve? How did that happen?
The boys decorated birthday crowns today. They looked so cute in their creations!
 |
| Shawn is a bit blurry, but he's pretty happy with his crown. |
 |
| Jason couldn't have been prouder of his! |
 |
| He was so excited to open presents and blow out his candle! |
 |
| Shawn's turn was first. It took Shawn a bit to blow out the candle. Jason decided to help him. That's a good brother. :) |
 |
| Jason's turn was next. He had no trouble blowing out his candle! |
 |
| Then we had them both blow out their candles at the same time. (Shawn wanted to hear the song again, so we figured why not? lol) |
They opened a few presents.
 |
| Even Jack thought this birthday party thing was pretty great. |
 |
| Shawn shared all of his wrapping paper and ribbon with Jack. Jack promptly threw both on the floor. |
They had such a good time! I believe that tonight was declared "the best day ever!" several times over. That can only mean they thought it was pretty awesome. lol
When I tucked the boys into bed and kissed them goodnight, I was struck by the thought that I was saying goodbye to a magical year--the year the boys officially left toddlerhood behind them and became these independent and smart creatures full of opinions, attitude, and fun. This year they became actual people right before my eyes!
In approximately five hours from now, the boys will be moving into new territory, the year of six.
SIX!
Wow.
Five was filled with wonder and imagination and delight. If the year of six is even half as good to us as the last, we are in for a pretty amazing ride.
