FIVE!
/
Birthdays are a big deal around here, in part because I'm pretty certain three of our little ones probably wouldn't have survived childhood without adoption.
So we do it up big.
It starts with sneaking in to the bedroom the night before and decorating with streamers. This way, when everyone wakes up, the birthday boy (or girl) will remember right away that it's a special day.
Then it's donuts for breakfast.
Then it's PRESENTS.
Then it's a special birthday dinner out at a restaurant, usually Chili's.
Then it's extra bedtime snuggles.
Because we're all about celebrating LIFE around here, especially the lives of our six darlings.
Today, we're celebrating five years of life for this riot team member of the police department.
He opened presents as his fan club looked on.
Present opening is still a new concept for our five year old fella. We had to explain how it all worked, which was a bit bittersweet (mostly sweet).
Totally sweet was the Spider-Man his big sisters made for him. Oh, my heart.
Loved my seat on the couch this morning. It had the best view, don't you think?
Happy birthday, Philip. I love being your mama!
