Our first born is 5! Wow! That's just crazy! We decided to surprise our Lego-loving boy with a trip to Chicago's LegoLand Discovery Center, followed by our family fave Red Robin, for dinner. The kids had a blast that Saturday at LegoLand and dinner, then crashed during the van ride home, but woke up just in time for some Lego birthday cake and singing at home. We decided that on his actual birthday, which fell on a Tuesday, we'd get together some friends for an informal playdate at our local YMCA. Ethan had a blast with his friends running off energy in the gym, and got a kick out of celebrating his birthday twice. :)
Happy 5th Birthday to our happy, sensitive, funny, kind, obedient, big helper, Lego-loving boy! You have taught us the depths of love. Love you Big Man!
