happy birthday to jomi

today is jomi's birthday, i can't believe it's true. 5 years old! going to kindergarten in just a few months. we have been celebrating for the last couple days because it is oh so fun to do so. we went to red robin for dinner yesterday and then to the park. today i took the day off work and took jonas out to breakfast and then to the mall. ben then took him to chuck-e-cheese and then tonight we had cake and ice cream. and yes, the cake is pink with pink icing- that's what he wanted.

confession. so jonas' birthday is really tomorrow. yes, tomorrow. however, sadie is getting married tomorrow and we are having a dinner in the evening that is adults only. so, we have been telling jonas his birthday is today. he doesn't know. is lying condoned in this situation? i think so. this way we can totally and completely focus on him today.

alas, here is a slide show of our fun today and yesterday. also, i had to post some pictures of jonas over the last couple years.

He is absolutely adorable! Whoever he marries when he grows up is going to be sooooo jealous of those eyelashes! Love the pics! Tell him happy birthday from a crazy lady that he doesnt know! :D

Kindergarten in the fall?!? But it feels like he was just BORN the other day! I love the collection of "aging" pictures -- great idea.

Happy Birthday! I love that you gave him a pink cake because that is what he wanted. I would have totally convinced Ryan to go with another color, what a good mom. About the lying, (I mean changing dates) We have done this exact thing on more than one occasion. What they don't know wont hurt them.

I think telling him his birthday is another day has to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard. That's a good 3 sessions on the therapy couch when he gets older.
