I really can’t believe that it’s been five years since we got Mac. It feels like he’s always been with us, yet just like yesterday that I was heading to the hospital to have him. I just love my sons’ birthdays. It sends me back to the wonderful memories of their births – two of the best days of my life. If I could skip pregnancy and the first year of babyhood, I would have a million kids. I LOVED labor and delivery. It is truly the weirdest, most wonderful thing to experience. And to think that that little baby is now five! So strange how time goes so extremely fast once we had kids. So here he is…the five year old!
We started the party evening with dinner at El Toro!
Once we got through colic with Mac, he was the best baby and well behaved toddler imaginable. Around three, things changed. Now, when Mac has a bad day with his attitude and I’m at my wits end, I feel like a horrible mother. Not only do I not handle it very well, I blame myself for him being the way he is. (Again, that’s a whole other post for another time.) Then there are the days like his birthday…he was the most grateful, thankful five year old I’ve ever seen. And I’m reminded how wonderful he is and that we’re doing okay with him.
It was a yellow and blue themed car party!
He was a little hyper before guests arrived.
"It's the game I've wanted!"
And of course, you can see the rest of the pics here.
