5 Years Old, and Just a Few Legos....

Cannon turned 5 on the 5th of May. My little Cinco de Mayo baby!
The weather was absolutely beautiful, and we had a great day! Cannon chose the menu for the days meals, and we started off the day with cinnamon rolls, eggs with cheese, bacon AND sausage. He got to use the special Red Plate (which is by far the most desired thing in our house at this point....). I did his birthday interview from the birthday book, and started off our day that was all about him.

He opened his presents, and spent a few minutes putting together his first of many Lego models. He then spent the rest of the morning playing with the dollar store ninjas that his sisters got him.
Its my tradition to take the kids to the movies for the first time on their 5th birthday, so we went to see RIO. I love the looks of amazement they have when they walk into the dark theatre, and see the huge screen! At one point he climbed into my lap cause the "bad guy" bird was a little intense....it made me laugh.
He had his birthday party in the evening, and we were going to have a party in the park, but ended up having it on our front lawn instead. We don't have a great play structure like the park, but to make up for it, we rented a jumpy house! The company was nice enough to deliver it 2 hours early so my kids had a ton of time by themselves in it to jump and go crazy.

The theme of his party was Lego, and I kept it super simple!

We bbq'd hamburgers and hot dogs, fed all the kids and their families, and had a great time!

Happy Birthday Cannonball!
