my baby turned 5!

Today my baby turned 5! I of course missed most of his birthday since I was at work. But I made his cake and planned ahead with my mom that we'd celebrate as a family once I got home. He choose roasted chicken, broccoli and carrots for his birthday dinner. (I was asked what 5 year old chooses broccoli for his birthday dinner??? seems mine)
I swung by a balloon place on the way home, made the babysitter let him keep sleeping so she could wrap the presents, I could finish up the cake, I could tidy the diningroom in preparation for the company and could hang up decorations. My little love was so excited when I did wake him and he came down seeing the balloons.
We had a nice family dinner. He opened his two gifts and headed straight to play with them. His friends arrived and a neighbour boy showed up and we all had cake and icecream. His grandparents Skyped in for the singing and cake :)
The kids all played in the backyard and then everyone was sent home as the tears from being over tired arrived and the little ones needed a bath and thier beds. (J returned home from his grandparents mid dinner and he was his usual overtired self).

CO was happy for his birthday and had his Sunday School class and Junior Church class sing to him. Who knows who else :)
Now my baby is spending his first night asleep as a five year old with his balloons in his room. Right before he fell asleep he mumbled something about how his bedroom looked like a party :)
