Trio's 5th

So on Friday we celebrated Trio's 5th birthday and on Sunday we had the party. It is still amazing to think that I have a five year old because as cliched as it sounds, the time really has flown. It seems like just yesterday I gave birth and was holding my baby boy for the first time and through all the trials and tribulations we made it here. And he's not a baby anymore -- he's my big boy (or my little man). *tear*

He had a good birthday. We didn't do a lot because of the party we were having and there was going to be a moon bounce there so I just took mini cupcakes to his school (mini since I remember the mess from being a daycare teacher) and shared it with his class. He enjoyed it true for the cupcakes but also for me being there since I don't always get a chance to go have lunch with him.

Then his party--we ordered a bouncy castle (well rented) and that was just the bee's knees to the kiddos. They stayed in it pretty much all the party and we had to force them out when it got dark not because they were there to get it (since they left it over night and we ended up having it there for almost a day. Only got charged for the four hours though--winning!!) so I count that as a great party all around. Plus to rent it was only about $150 which is much cheaper than going to a bouncing place. So yeah, probably going to do that from now on for our parties. Plus the food was good (thank you HEB deli trays) and everyone had a great time. My little odd man didn't worry about opening his presents during the party so we ended up doing it after everyone left. He still enjoyed everything he got of course: monster trucks, Star Wars helmet and mask, a Transformer truck, the movie Despicable Me, and a new Mobi game (Jack and the Neverland Pirates). All around a great day and a wonderful way to celebrate his 5th.

Happy birthday Trio. We love you very much.
