Party Time!

Here are pics from Mathias' 5th birthday party this weekend. He spent most of the time enjoying it with his best friend from school, Bjorn. The two together are absolutely adorable & hilarious. It's always a joy for me to be able to shadow my child interacting with other kids. And that's exactly what I did all afternoon! :) PS - most of the pics were taken from a phone so they're very very blurry; I apologize!

First car ride with Gramma!

Then again on his own...and then a few more times with his buddy Bjorn. :)

Such a good boy.

Two peas in a pod!

His first drum set! Yes, it's loud and I must be crazy, but he loves it! Hey, kids involved with music at an early age tend to have a higher IQ so here's to rockin out! ;)

"Little boys leave smudges on your heart."

The Crayola Washable Paint and Brush Set I bought Mathias was also a hit. He's very artistic and that's one of the many wonderful things I love about my son. He loves to read, write and draw just like mama. :)

 

 

Cleans his paintbrushes very well too! ;)

I still have videos to upload from his birthday that I can't wait to share! However, it's late and I'm spent...so those videos will have to be posted another time. So happy birthday Mathias Patrick and sweet dreams world! Thank you again, Lord, for blessing me with the joys of motherhood. Much love to you all!!! xoxoxoxo

Happy 5th Birthday Mathias!

Cinnamon French toast with fresh raspberries, toasted slivered almonds and sweet Vermont maple syrup started off our fun-filled day.

When asked where he wanted to go for lunch...he started to sing the tune, "Red Robin...yummmmm!" So Red Robin it was and he ate like a champ.

I'm five!

We topped off lunch with sweet frozen yogurt at his favorite spot, YoYogurt. I told him to pick whatever toppings he wanted and instead of the usual sprinkles and chocolate candy bar chunks - he chose blackberries, marshmallows, and one solid green gummy candy in the shape of a soldier holding a bazooka. Of course. ;)

Waiting to get his haircut at his favorite hair salon, Kiddie Kutters.

Making new friends.

My baby doesn't look like a baby anymore! :(

After his haircut, I decided to take Mick to Party City where he could pick out the color of balloons he wanted for his scheduled photo shoot with Whimzy. So I bought him two to take with us for fun and also a face-painting kit to take home with us.

Sweet little angel face before the paint comes on.

My adorable love bug.

Being silly. :)

My patriotic birthday boy...with a little gray puppy nose lol.

Not bad for having my face to use as his canvas. ;)

Sticker extravaganza.

Silly little boy...I see you!

In the end, our day off from work and school was spent with lots of love, laughter and good eats! Mission accomplished. I'll post his Saturday birthday party pics next!
