High Five to Simon!!!!!

The Saturday before Simon's 5th birthday, we had a family party at Uncle Gordon's pool. Having both Grandma's at a birthday party is rare and it sure was enjoyable! Here is the cake made for the birthday party. Simon's Godmother made "5" cookies with him and Ava.



Simon's birthday at VBS. He awoke to the birthday turtle, birthday book, and an early present by his chair at the table. The present was his number 5 shirt and his sailor hat with a 5 to wear to VBS. His cousin Paige helped out during VBS and was somehow placed with Simon and another little cousin (Emmie). Uncle Gordon stopped by early, by 6:30 with a large balloon that sang "Happy Birthday" twice when tapped. We are still listening to it!

Paige and the birthday boy!

Our picture window also giving Simon a High Five!

It is also very rare to have Grandma and Grandpa from Minnesota here on an actual birthday! We very much enjoyed that!

Simon received more Hot Wheel track (the hoop and jump attached to the table) and a tune up tower. Pure joy and tons of fun!

It is amazing that Simon is 5 years old and on his way to Kindergarten. We love how he is now beyond excited the night before his birthday and his party, and knows to expect certain traditions. Such a wonderful and loving boy!
