My baby turned 5!

Dylan decided he wanted a party at Chuckee-Cheese this year.  I hate Chuckee-Cheese , so I presented several options to him (some much more expensive,) but he would not budge.  The kids had a blast though, and were mesmerized when Chuckee-Cheese came out and danced with them. It turned out to be the perfect place to have a party.


Dylan doesn't like cake, so I made a giant cookie cake and decorated it.  Which probably doesn't seem like a big deal to all of you Martha Stewart moms out there, but I am not a cook or a do-it-yourselfer, so it was a big deal for me.  I used a Ben's Cookie recipe that Mike found for me. So Yummy!! 




I can't believe I have a 5 year old.  They are growing up way too fast.  I recently took Dylan to his kindergarten orientation.  And the other day Jack wanted me to snuggle him while he took a nap, and it hit me that he won't be my baby anymore (not that he's ever looked like a baby... the kid is massive.)  I feel so lucky that I get to be home with them everyday while they're little.

I hate Chuck E Cheese too! But somehow we ended up there on Presley's 5th birthday too and I realized how much they love it! Dylan is sooooo big and handsome.

The great thing about Chuck E Cheese parties is you really don't have to do anything and then your house isn't a mess from swarms of small children strung out on sugar. I can't believe he's five. Wow!
