Happy Birthday DUDE!!!

On January 25th we got to celebrate the 5th Birthday of our wonderful little Dude. What a wonderful five years we've had so far! Steven came out smiling and happy and has kept on that way ever since.

My kids don't like surprises, or waiting for gifts, (I have no idea where they get it) so we let them have their Star Wars costumes early. Star Wars has become an odd obsession for my children. Mike has never been a fan, and I'm indifferent, but my kids LOVE it. Sarah is Leia, Steven goes between Luke and Darth Vader and Adam is a Storm Trooper.

We've decided to not do kid birthdays this year, so we invited Steven's big kid friends to join us for a night of fun at the bowling alley.




 Matt, Jon and Adam bought him a Star Wars TIE Fighter set. 


The Barrys, Greens and Cecils bought him an X Wing Lego set.

Although there was a party going on Steven wanted to leave immediately to start building Legos. Since we wouldn't leave he would intermittently sit and stare at them.

The guys promised to come back and help Steven build his Lego sets and they were true to their word. Adam and Matt came over on Super Bowl Sunday to help him build his TIE fighter. 



While Mike's brother Andy was passing through on his way to training in Alabama he helped Steven build the X Wing. 



We love our little Dude! These five years have flown by and we're grateful for everything he brings to our family. He is 100% boy full of energy, and is also a sweetheart that shares his bright smile with everyone. He is a smart little guy with a vivid imagination and I love to see the things he builds and the stories he tells. I love being his mom.

Why are they five already? I can't believe it! Steven is so cute and it's funny because although he as never seen Star Wars Cohen is totally obsessed- he also looks through a lego magazine daily.... legos have somehow captured the love of little boys! He looks so happy- we sure miss you guys!
