He wanted a fishing birthday cake, and really the entire party sort of took on a fishing theme (more on that below). He had a choice of having a birthday party with kids coming over, or going to The Children's Museum during the day and having a family party that evening. He chose the Children's Museum and the family party.
So when we got up Monday morning, Joy completed her schoowork in record time and we were off to the Children's Museum. He was SO excited. He just couldn't stay with one thing....he was here and there and everywhere, over and over again. I think it's safe to say he had a good time. He loved that museum. When I asked him his favorite part, he said it was the fishing part....and he did spend a good bit of his time there.
Here are some highlights from the Children's Museum adventures (and of course, his Joy was right there beside him because he doesn't go far without her):
Loading and exploring the Fed-Ex plane.....
.
Luke, the fisherman.....you can tell he was a busy little bee here!
Luke the fireman........
Luke the surgeon....
Luke the policeman.........
Luke the grocery clerk and shopper....
Joy had a little fun of her own...... (checking her blood pressure and playing with the green screen dancing)......
Luke the mechanic....
Luke the dentist....
More fun...
Then that evening we had the family party.
The decorations........
The cake.....
The present opening.........
Playing games........
Family............
Playing with his toys.....
He told us he had a great birthday and I think he loves being 5!
And his sweet little sleeping self at the end of a LONG, FUN, and EVENTFUL Day!
It's still so hard to believe he's already five! What a blessing he is! :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Looks like Luke had a very good birthday! Cute pictures!
ReplyDeleteWe love to go to the Children's Museum! What a fun way to celebrate a birthday. Like you I still can't believe he is five! Time goes by so fast.
ReplyDeleteOh my he has grown quickly. I remember I had just started following your blog when you folks were about to bring him home. What a sweet and blessed little boy. I got a little weepy looking at all the pictures. So much love!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Luke's day with us.

Hi Tammy, Wow looks like a fun filled day. Happy belated birthday to Luke. The museum looks like a fun place. Darbee Rae would have loved it. Great pictures of family. Glad Joy is doing better. She looks happy and well. Love the picture of the little man resting, bet he was dreaming of a wonderful day he had. He is blessed to have you and your family as well as you to have him. Hugs

Wow, I'm ready for a nap after seeing his fun filled day! ;) Happy belated birthday sweetie!
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep from pinching those cheeks? He is just adorable!
Yeah 5!!
Mama,
ReplyDeleteI think that was a very fun birthday....not just for Luke, but for all of us. :) This one was really memorable! I cannot believe he's FIVE. It's not fair! He was two...and he was chubby....and now he's five and he's slimmed up! And he talks like an English teacher. :)
Love you! 8!
Love,
Joy :)
