Isaac's 5th birthday

Finally made some time to share some photos from Isaac's b-day and party, which was 2 days after his b-day.

Isaac woke up (at 5:30, yuck! haha) to a bunch of balloons in his room!
After he found some pants, he dashed downstairs to discover birthday presents! Yay! He was SOOOO excited!
Then he ran back upstairs to get his brothers so he could open the gifts. Elijah and Aziel gave him excited b-day hugs!
A gift from Auntie Anna! All the kids love it by the way. Thanks! :D

Playing with some of his presents:

We had birthday cupcakes and pancakes for supper. Isaac's choice. :)

Two days later was Isaac's party. He invited several children from his German kindergarten. We ended up with 15 kids in attendance, including our own. Wow. You should have heard the noise level! In English AND in German! :)

Here's a photo of Isaac's cake:
Decorating for the party!

BUSTED! Good thing I took that other photo beforehand... Nice going Eli.

Some candids from the party.

Pinata time! Everybody got a turn.



And cake time. Nobody even noticed the "Eli nibbles" on the side. :)

After all the kids were gone, we hung out with our good friends the Koutrases for awhile. Here's Meike and I. :)

And the twins and Zoi, still in party mode:

There was one gift in particular that got played with a LOT. It was a Whoopie Cushion. Perfect for a 5 yr old. Isaac is demonstrating here:

Isaac had a blast and really enjoyed it all. I, for one, am glad that he will not be having another birthday for 355 more days however. ;) Exhausted but happy!
