He's Five! (well, almost)

Last Saturday we celebrated Gabe's 5th Birthday!  True, his birthday isn't for another month, but it was really important to him to have a party with his friends before we moved, so we celebrated early.  Originally we planned to have the party at a park, but the weather didn't cooperate with us, so we ended up having the party at Burger King.  Thankfully everything turned out great  (I was super nervous about the Burger King thing)!

Here's pictures of our Lego Star Wars party!

This was the easiest birthday cake I've ever made!

Every kid went home with their own "lightsaber" bubble wand.

And a bag full of candy from our Darth Vader pinata.

 The Birthday Boy blowing out the candles!

(I love how you can see Porter in the corner of the picture helping Gabe out.)

 I find this picture pretty funny of the dads checking out Gabe's new toys!

 

Thanks to all of our Ohio friends who celebrated Gabe's special day with us!  What a gift it is to celebrate birthdays and holidays and not feel homesick for our families in Utah since we have been blessed with such an awesome family of friends here in Ohio!
