Skyler has been anticipating his 5th birthday since the day after his 4th~ He's been planning and just plain wishing it would come fast. Somehow, the year flew by and it finally arrived. He was thrilled...appreciated everything from the decorated house to his presents to the sweet phone messages, to everything about his party.
His 4th year....when he learned that not all kids are nice, he experienced hitting rock bottom breaking my heart, but now appreciates all of the good...the amazing friends he has made, the teachers who loved him and cared and taught him what school is supposed to be about, he learned patience, how to be an amazing big brother, an amazing boy whose heart is full of so much love and goodness, his intelligence, desire to learn more and more, his love of museums, wanting to do right by everyone and I'm secretly happy when he acts up or sticks up for himself. Skyler....everything about you is beautiful. You have taught me so much about love and I can't wait for another year with you.
Career goal: baker/cooker
Favorite colors: purple and green
Favorite places: Any museum
Favorite activity: LEGOS
Skyler plans everyone else's party, so why not his own?! We asked him if he wanted ice cream cake, but oh no, he had to bake his own cake. So here he goes!
I know this picture looks bad with a knife in his mouth...but I promise it wasn't sharp!
Of course Sadie wanted to help too...She kind of had a hard time not being in the spotlight!
Talking to Uncle Matt on the phone:)
Done!
Skyler got a new scooter for his bday...and we got Sadie one too, for Skyler, so she won't steal his!
How old is she again?! 2 going on 12!
Cake time!
So, Skyler fell in love with magic from his friend's bday party and insisted on having a magician at his. My fingers were crossed because I randomly found this guy on the internet. Thank goodness he was amazing! Fun, entertaining, and had the attention of every child. By the end, even the shy kiddos were in the front row laughing hysterically. Thank you Mike the Magician!
Skyler's theme was transformers...
The party room..I guess I should have decorated a bit more!
There he is! Not the greatest conversationalist, but a great magician with a way with kids.
Skyler couldn't wait to be the helper....
This trick had him hysterical...I wish I could explain it....had to do with coins though!
This girl had a problem with sharing my attention. She clung to me the entire time, which is why all of my pictures were blurry or from a weird angle because she would hardly let me move! She finally became interested at the end.
Do you not just love his face here?!
