Five is Fantastic!

In the blink of an eye, the earth moved around the sun one more time and our funny four-year-old turned into a fantastic five-year-old! We celebrated with birthday fun on his actual birthday, and then a couple weeks later, he invited a few friends over for a dinosaur birthday party.

Happy birthday to you!

The excited anticipation of trying gum for the first time (since you can have gum when you are five)

Hmm...gum is pretty good
