My Little Boy Turns Five!

Nicolas turns FIVE! You are invited to witness the change!

I can't believe he is five! Nicolas is five years old! Who knew it could happen so fast. From a little baby boy that we were scared to leave the hospital with because we might break him. To a five year old that might break anything that he can come into contact with. One thing he has not broken but made stronger is our love for him! He may be strong willed. He may be hyper. But he is wonderful. And something that every technician and specialist said when they looked at his ultrasounds time after time after time was the same "This baby has the most beautiful heart." They might have been talking about the way it appeared on that screen but we know differently. He has the most beautiful, loving, heart.

So for that little boy we had party after party this past weekend. Every year it is a struggle as it comes just a blink after Christmas. But again we pulled it off and he had a blast with family and friends.

Our family came over on Saturday to celebrate his glorious five years. And our house was full of cousins. What a site. These little guys were ready to dig into that cake! Nate (4 1/2), Abbey (6), Lexi (2 1/2), Kai (3), Evander, Corwin (11) and Erik (almost 6).

Mommy stayed up very late to make this superhero cake for our little guy. It was fun to do and fun to eat!

Then we were off to play at Riverbend Bounce with Nicolas' friends on Sunday. It was fun! The kids didn't want to stop playing for anything. Barely stopped to eat cupcakes and sing. Hated when the two hours was over. But they did have so much fun! The capes we made as their party favor did help in the leaving process. You can see a few of them being worn in the photos above.

The middle one was a chore to get but worth it. Although we did miss a few friends who still didn't want to stop jumping long enough to be in the photos. Managed to get Ryan in an other photo! Thank goodness we got them in photos at Ryan's party just two hours later! What a fun day!
