John's Birthday

John's birthday was yesterday, but the celebration started a day early with the construction of his present from Dad.

His very own tree house, just his size and easy for a five year old to climb into. Added perk, it is in one of my favorite trees in the orchard that I have always loved to climb up and sit in. The tradition continues...


He was quite pleased...

On his real birthday he opened the rest of his presents, played with all his presents, asked which I liked best of all his presents, and pretty much soaked up being five.


Grandpa and Bubbie gave him a pizza party for his birthday dinner. As is evidenced by how much is on his face, it was delicious.

And the grand finale, the birthday cake made by Becca and expertly frosted with whipped cream just like John asked for by Leah. Not to worry, although it was offered we did not use Timo's throwing knife to cut it. Probably the last thing that cut was a dead gopher... Happy Birthday to my best little man! I love you infinity and beyond!
