Matthew’s 5th birthday fell right in the middle of a super chaotic time in our lives. Β The 2-3 days surrounding his birthday were also Father’s Day, the last day of school (of course, 2 different days, one for each boy), Pre-K graduation, Ian’s last golf lesson, Matthew’s 5 year well-child pediatrician visit, swimming lesson sign up, and massive vacation preparation. Β It should come as no surprise when I say we had to split his celebration up in order to fit everything in.

We celebrated his birthday with Mike’s family on Father’s Day, with us on his actual birthday, with my family while in the Outer Banks on vacation, and we will be having his first ever “friend” party at Bounce Magic on July 14th.

Needless to say, we’ve had a lot of cake over the last few weeks. Β πŸ™‚
