Happy Birthday Thomas!!!!

Wow!  I cannot believe that Thomas is 5 years old today.  I was reminiscing with people at church yesterday and realized that Thomas was a mere 5 months old when we came to Mt. Zion.  How crazy is that?Thomas  couldn’t stop talking about his upcoming birthday.  He went from wanting a Toy Story cake to Star Wars, and finally settling on Spiderman.  I did my best to draw Spiderman and am happy that the kids were able to decipher it.We had a small get together with the neighbors.  Remember our block party Sundays?  We thought it would be the perfect time to celebrate Thomas’s birthday. He requested to have a pinata, so that’s what we got!  It was so much fun.  Even Elizabeth got into it.

All the kids took turns.  I think Rebecca was the one who ultimately knocked all the candy out once Spiderman was slightly beheaded at one point. And of course as soon as the candy hit the ground the kids went running!Anna pretty much hung out and caught all the action from her seat.  I think she loved just loved all the action.   On a side note, because I just noticed this, but Anna is wearing Rachel’s old dress from the picture at the top.  How funny, isn’t it?

 

Cake time! Look how calm and collected Thomas is.  He’s an old pro now, since he’s five years old.

We had seven kids gathered around a tiny little childsized table. Then we had another little childsized table and the two smallest kids got that table to themselves.  Hmm…

 

Today is Thomas’s actually birthday, so we saved the presents for today.  Thomas couldn’t wait although I almost think that David was more excited.

Happy Birthday Thomas!  We love you.
