One big birthday thread- share here

[TrudyCampbell]

I can't keep up with all the birthday posts soooo I'd like to wish a happy "5" to everyone! Share pics here from their birthday, if you'd like!

(Violet isn't 5 yet and I'm still in denial that it's happening.)

Happy birthday everyone!!!!! (I love this idea).

Blake had his party at a local bounce house and had so much fun! C literally did not come out of the bounce houses until I drug him out when it was time to leave. I love this age because he was so happy, soexcited, and so much fun!

Love his cake blane12, did you make that?

Happy Birthday Everyone! I can't believe our kids are 5!

Sydney had a Moana party and she loved every moment!
And with her "tummy mommy"...

Happy Birthday everybody! I still can't believe they are all turning 5. Time flies!

Happy birthday everyone! It snowed on the day of Elliot's party for the second year in a row. New England sucks in the spring.

He had a semi Moana themed party - we were supposed to rent out a movie theater for it, but ended up having it at our house with the same magician/balloon maker we had last year. Very fun, but I'm over having parties at home.

. I know! I wasn't expecting it to be so instense, lol. We still have leftovers in the freezer (plus cupcakes from Hs birthday a few days ago, plus we are picking up a cake for his birthday party this weekend - God help me). It's a Party Favors cake! So delicious.

Wahhhhh my big baby is 5 tomorrow
I cry thinking about it
I really really don't want him to grow up he is so innocent and sweet and in his own perfect bubble the world is mean i wish he could stay 5 forever
No party we just will go to the beach and pool water slides here and out to dinner wherever he wants we will grab a grocery store cake
Love this kid with my entire heart
I'm pretty sure we will be best friends forever and ever

Daniel insisted on a paw patrol party, even though he's not really into paw patrol anymore. Of course this means he got even more paw patrol toys, Alexander is quite happy to play with those though.

My 5 year old opening presents before school.


The lame cake I made for just the family

Party favours


Showing off his Lego haul

The one thing he wanted to do more than anything, mop, so he got to clean up after the party.

Haha no. I hate making cakes. I don't patience for decorating. My mom did. She's made Blake's and Colton's every year.

We took the boys out to dinner and ice cream with a few of their friends on their actual birthday last Thursday.

Their dragon alligator themed party is this weekend. Outside. I really really really really hope it doesn't rain. About 45000000 people are coming. I booked a reptile show and will have reptile themed party games. I'll have to remember to take a few pictures in the chaos.

I can't believe they are 5. It happened so fast and so slow at the same time. Sniff, sniff.

teamhayes, your post made me tear up.
devonpow I'm getting a small allergy free cake from PF for the allergy kids who won't be able to have the cupcakes. Such a great cake shop!

[vthokie]

Happy birthday to all the kids! 5 years old is crazy! We had a family party for A and then a Trolls party at the children's museum.

We had a joint bday party for the kids this past Sunday. No theme and just family and a few close friends. They had a blast just playing around with outdoor toys in the back yard.

So many great parties and cakes! I'm just doing a Costco cake. lazy part of one. And darn late being born A, she still has to wait 8 days for her birthday.

[jg183]

We had a combined 5&2 party with 32 kids between 1-5! It was chaos at the bounce house place
They had a great time!
My parents came in the week before and we went to great wolf lodge to celebrate!

[jsillyfun]

May had a ballet party. It was so fun! I also took her for cupcakes and pedis on her actual bday. 5! Sob! It's just crazy how time flies.

[mumegs]

Happy birthday to everyone! I can't believe our babies are 5!

Noah's party was so fun! We got a tour of the fire hall and got to play on the trucks. This was his first party not at our house and i loved it.

[katfco]

Caleb only has 2 kids coming to his party today.  
But his cake came out well! 

[bean47]

Great cake, katfco! I'm sorry more friends couldn't make it. I hope he still has a great day!

[breezy8407]

Happy Birthday everyone!

We let each kid pick what they wanted to do on their birthdays last week. (they have separate birthdays) So H and I took off work Friday for DD's b-day and she picked the trampoline park. DS picked a movie the next day and dinner out to eat. 

Today we had their friend party at Pump It Up. I think every friend party has been there so far. It was super easy. If we are IG friends these are repeats: 

[TrudyCampbell]

Violet's party was a huge success! She had a great day!

[nannerl]

What do you do with a train crazy almost 5 year old to celebrate his birthday? Head to North Platte Nebraska to visit Union Pacific's largest train sorting yard 😁

A had her party today. It was Trolls theme at our rec center with gymnastics. The kids all seemed to have a blast, and I loved not having it at our house.  Once again I barely got any photos.
