We have a 5 year old!

After our trips, we had a quick turn around before celebrating Sullivan's 5th birthday. We were all so excited to have a 5 year old around here. Isaac and Anna slept over the evening before because Isaac and Anna wanted to be the first ones to give him birthday wishes on the big day. They are all so sweet together although the night was sort of a disaster with 4 kids playing musical beds all night long. It will prolly be a few months before we attempt that again ;).

Sully had a great day, I woke up to him calling to Isaac at 6:20am who was in Greta's bed, saying 'Isaac! Its my birthday!' I walked in and gave him a snuggle before Isaac woke up and crawled over to talk to him all about being 5. When they came down for breakfast, Isaac challenged him to a race and let Sully beat him and said, 'wow, you are such a fast 5 year old!' What a kid. He had a great day playing with cousins, his sisters, and friends while we prepped for a family party. Greta was so excited for him to, showering him with birthday love and hugs. The weather was amazing, 73 and sunny and perfect for outdoors.

We gathered with family and celebrated him in the evening. We had a soccer game in our back yard with neighbors and family before eating dinner, cake, then presents (Greta was his number one assistant, and Piper was never too far away) and a piñata (which I forgot about until most of the kids were gone :/). All in all, it was a successful night.

We are so proud of our sweet, sensitive, intelligent, and slightly ornery 5 year old. He is growing into such a big helpful boy. He is into soccer, characters, scooting, his iPad, pancakes, cheeseburgers, his dad, his sisters, and insists on only wearing clothes to bed. I love that I am able to have a conversation with him and that he is a confident and (mostly) well behaved little boy. We love you, Sully, and are so grateful for you. Happy Happy 5th birthday, buddy!
