I can’t believe our sweet boy is FIVE!

Danny was king for the day, and chose a chicken nugget and edamame picnic dinner in the living room. He requested a vanilla cake with chocolate icing. Maria decorated it beautifully with blue icing (his favorite color) and colorful candles.

To celebrate, Danny wanted to go to the paint-your-own-pottery place. When we were there for Maria’s birthday he had trouble deciding between a plane and shark (he chose the plane); he was thrilled the shark was there for his birthday!

He added stripes and said it was a tiger shark. Danny was very careful to paint the gums red… fierce! I l love that pencil grip and those little painted nails! While the boys waited for Maria to finish painting, they were allowed to walk down to Cobs Bread alone!!! They each chose an enormous cinnamon bun. YUM!

Opening presents was so fun! Danny got a LOT of GREAT gifts! The highlights of the gifts were: a Beyblade stadium and some Beyblades, Ningago legos, playdoh, How to Train Your Dragon Playmobil, a BLUE bike and…. his very own ipad! Wow! He also got a lot of money from aunts, uncles, and grandparents. The presents came with a sweet note from Maria and carefully-drawn wrapping paper from Jack.

It was a wonderful weekend. We love you, Danny! So, so much! And we can’t believe you’re FIVE!

Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, we love you so!

Danny’s birthday weekend was the last weekend before the Corona/covid lock down. We were finally able to pick up the pottery in June, and the results are wonderful!
