This past week has been a celebration of Sam turning 5! As usual, Mike was on cake detail. So on Saturday, I took the big two to the local splash pad to get out of daddy's way.
We met up with the Townsends and shared some ice cream.
And we met up with the Worsts too, who even brought a birthday present for Sam!
We came home to a masterpiece!
The birthday boy was very pleased!
On Sunday, several family and friends came over to celebrate. We all wore Star Wars shirts to mark the occasion.
The wind didn't cooperate, so Sam had to stand in the doorway to blow out the candles.
Another winner cake from Dad!
Everyone enjoyed eating it too!
We all took turns with this little cutie pie, Xavier!
Happy, chunky boy!
One of our adventures during the week was a trip to the Promenade in Bolingbrook. We enjoyed the Bass Pro Shop with the big fish tank!
And some cool camping gear!
On Wednesday, his actual birthday, Sam awoke to gifts from us. Minion playdough kit from Isaac, HulkBuster Ironman from Noah, a Wubble bubble ball and Star Wars comforter from mom and dad!
Noah made him a special placemat fro the day!
We went to Krispy Kreme (in Elk Grove Village) to see donut making and eat some product!
The Worsts met us there for an early morning treat!
After that, we headed to the Schaumburg Volkening Heritage Farm where they have farm animals and plenty of nature trails for the kids to run off their sugar highs!
Sam was a tad nervous of the larger animals.
The draft horses were HUGE!
Now that Sam's a whole 5 years old, he can help out his little brother more (so he tells me at least).
We ended his special day with a trip out for ice cream. He chose Sonic!
It was a beautiful night and a perfect end to his big day! Love you Sam, can't wait to see what 5 brings!
Of course his brothers didn't mind helping with the celebration, either!
