Happy 5th birthday big boy!

My son celebrated his fifth birthday on November 16th.  It's hard to believe that it was 5 years ago, that I gave birth to him.   Time has flown by so quickly.   He has grown up to be a very energetic, but bright little boy.  He was thrilled to start Kindergarten this year, and has made several friends....He has a great love for reading, music and art....

This year we celebrated his birthday at My Gym, a place that he loves to spend his time at.  12 friends attended...His cake, Willy Wonka of course!   My son, is an "Old Soul,"  or at least that's what we call him...His favourite film of all time is "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"  from 1971...

He first wanted Gene Wilder's picture as Willy Wonka on his cake, but I thought that might be difficult to do in icing, so he settled for a Wonka bar and a golden ticket instead..

This is the hot dog swing!

And the parade for the birthday boy!   High fives for everyone!!!

Overall, I think everyone had a great time.  My son saw some friends that he hasn't seen in awhile, and I did too...It's always nice to catch up with other parents...

Well, now that the birthdays are overwith, we can concentrate on Christmas....
