Connor's Fifth Birthday

The original birthday post got deleted, so now I am going to try and remember what I wrote :(

 My best boy {that's what daddy and I call you},

           And just like that, you're FIVE years old. I can't believe it! You are such a sweet and caring young boy. You are also really big! I can hardly hold you anymore. I try to, but it's not easy. One of your favorite things to do is create things. You like to do "projects" and come up with all kinds of neat things. You are also so energetic. You are always doing something and I can never get you to slow down. Today we celebrated you turning a whole year older. You loved telling everyone "today's my birthday!" Here's how we celebrated.

    We didn't have a big party for you this year. We celebrated a little over Easter, and yesterday we took you to an air show where Pappy joined us. Daddy knew he was going to have to work really late tonight, so he came home before you went to school so we could sing Happy Birthday to you and let you open your presents. You couldn't wait and really liked what we got you! 

     At 2:45, Olivia and I took cupcakes to your school so you could celebrate with your class. You were so excited we were there and had the biggest smile on your face. Your teacher gave you a special birthday crown and sticker to wear. When we got to your classroom, you handed everyone a napkin and then a cupcake. You got to sit in the center of the circle, and then we all sang Happy Birthday to you! 

       At dinner time I let you eat cake before dinner. You requested it on your way to school since we didn't eat cake with daddy. You told him you wanted to wait, so we did. Aunt Mo and Uncle Levi ate cake over Facetime with us, and they even sang Happy Birthday to you!
