5 years old

Andrew turned 5 today (6/7), and couldn't be more excited! He had his day all planned out:

1) open presents before school

2) Get a birthday crown from Miss Cheryl, and wear it ALL day

3) Bring baseball cupcakes for treats

4) After school he wanted to go out to eat, and he wanted to choose where we were going

Luckily the day turned out just like he was hoping.

Here's Andrew w/ his b-day cake from his party on Saturday. He had 5 friends over to help him celebrate:Sunday night he wanted to see some fireworks, so Bruce obliged. Here he is paitently waiting:

Here's Jenna new accesorry for watching fireworks:

It didn't work....she still freaked out.

This morning Andrew opened his presents:

A blue light saber:

A flat bed w/ a combine:

and last but not least, a Red Rider BB gun:

We ate at Chilli's, and once we were home he showed off his crown:

Then it was time to try out his new BB gun:

Sadie decided that since there was a gun, she should show off her pointing skills (she did this for a really long time, apparently being around hunting dogs a lot has rubbed off on her).
After that, it was time for a birthday cupake:
He made sure he got all the candles on the 1st try:

He had a great day, and we can't belive that he's 5. It seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital meeting him for the 1st time, and introducing him to everyone. He's an amazing little boy, and we are very blessed that he's ours.
