Today my little boy, born a month too early, weighing only 4 pounds 13 ounces, will turn FIVE! It always feels like time is slipping away when I look at him, but it also helps me stop, focus on him, and take in every little one of his nuances while I can.
As I walk down memory lane, I wanted to share some of my favorite birthday party moments with Fender throughout the years...
Year 1: Fender's First Cake
I got a thumbs up for this one!
A banana cake made into a monkey head. He got to eat one of the ears!
Year 2: Thumb Worthy
You knew things were good when a gift was "thumb worthy!"
I did the monkey thing again since they were his favorite, but this time went with cupcakes!
Year 3: He's getting so big!
This was the photo of the year! My aC took this one of Fender blowing a dandelion fluff while playing tag at his party. My hubby and I edited out the neighbor's house in the backyard and voila! One of our favorite photos!
This was the year of Lightening McQueen.
We made our own pinata...
...and I did a Lightening McQueen cake mold cake and swore I'd never do this again!
Year 4: Fender's first bike!
He had been riding a trike for years and was very excited to get his first bike (with training wheels of course!)
I did an ice cream shop theme this year and Fender had fun with all of the sprinkles!
And while we're at it, let's just add a few more photos to embarrass the kid when he turns 18...
