We seemed to celebrate for days. On Thursday Nathanh took cupcakes to preschool to celebrate with his friends. He was most excited about the fact that they sang Happy Birthday to him and he got to have the first cupcake!
It was a typical Saturday morning, the kids climbed into bed with us first thing and we tried to keep them quiet and still! But suddenly Nathanh exclaimed "Hey, I'm 5!" After that there was no going back to sleep so we went downstairs and I made pancakes (Nathanh's choice) for breakfast while Nathanh opened presents. I think it is safe to say he liked Thianna's best...StarWars Lego. Yup, she knows her brother very well!
Part of my and Erwin's gift to Nathanh was a whale watching adventure. Nathanh loves orcas and he has asked to go whale watching a couple of times so we thought this would be a great opportunity. What we didn't know was that StarWars Lego trumps whale watching. So when Nathanh realized that he couldn't build his Lego right away because he and Thianna had ice skating lessons and then we were leaving straight from there, he had a slight meltdown...
But all was good in the end and they both enjoyed seeing the orcas in the wild. We also stalked a humpback whale for about 20 minutes so that was cool too.
Sorry, the whale pictures are on my camera and I can't seem to sign into blogger on my computer...grrr.
Of course as soon as we got home Nathanh went straight to work on his Lego!
On Sunday we had some friends over for Nathanh's birthday party. Luckily it was wonderful, warm weather and I put up our bouncy water slide for the kids to play on.
And to end off the birthday festivities, we had family over for more birthday cake on Monday!
Happy Birthday to my amazing, creative, bright, energetic, affectionate, not so little boy!
