Party Time!

Today we had James' birthday party. His birthday is not until the 24th but this is the only weekend that Jimmy had off...and you can't have a birthday party without Daddy!!

James was allowed to invite 5 friends. We were going to go play at the park but it was too cold so we went to ChickFilA to have lunch and play in the playground. We watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and colored Mickey pictures until everyone arrived. Then off to ChickFilA we went. (HUGE THANKS to our friend, Tom, who joined us and helped with crowd control...5 friends plus our 3 made for 8 kiddos...nuts once you get them into ChickFilA!!) When we were done playing we headed home for cupcakes and presents and then it was time to go home.

What a fun time we all had...especially my James!

Make a wish!

Singing Happy Birthday to our James.

My idea of what a Mickey Mouse cupcake should look like. Yummy!!

James received lots of wonderful gifts including this fun puzzle from his friend Alexia. He was also blessed with a battleship game, a movie, kites and cars. What fun we will have this afternoon.
We still have a couple of weeks but I cannot believe that my James will be 6. Or that it has been 5 years since our adoption day. I will admit that it has not all been roses and that sometimes it feels as though it has been a lifetime...but I would not change one single memory if it meant not having my James. How blessed this family is!
