I still can't believe that my little guy turned 5 years old this last March. I can hardly believe he will be starting kindergarten this year. Watching your kids grow is so bittersweet. For one it is so fun and incredible to see them learn and grow, but on the other hand the memories you make with them only will happen once in a life time-and they grow so quickly. That is one reason I love pictures and video--it can take you back atleast in memory. Although some days can be rough I really do try to cherish each moment I get with my little babes.
Jaxon has really been into space lately and that is what he wanted the theme for his party to be. When asked what he wanted for his birthday cake he replied, "I want a space cake with Mercury and Pluto on it." Ok I thought those are interesting choices, but it is his birthday so of course that is what he got.
First he got to celebrate his day with some friends. They had rocket contests, played musical planets, don't let the meteor hit earth, and to end they got to whack at a rocket pinata. They of course did cake and ice-cream which was very interesting. The cake was covered in black frosting (maybe not the smartest choice-but it was space it had to be dark-right?) lucky for us no one left with any stains, but a few did have purple teeth.
Later we celebrated as a family and Jaxon was able to open presents from his family. He loved all the presents he got from his grandparents--so thank you. I think his favorite gift was the globe we bought him. He had been asking for one for about 6 mo now. I think the cutest thing was what he said to us after it was all done, "Mom I am so lucky I got 2 birthdays!"
Jaxon is a wonderful bright kid and we are so blessed to have him in our lives.
