LOOK WHO'S 5!!!

Luke turned 5 yesterday... yup, 5... I almost can't believe it.
He's just about finished up his preschool year, and in September he starts Kindergarten...the first of 13 years of his school career.

To celebrate, we let Luke pick a few friends, and we had their families over for a little hotdog bbq on Sunday evening. I think everyone had good fun.

A little about Luke:
He is still into Angry birds (it's been about 18 months now), so we had an Angry bird themed party.
He LOVES crafts and drawing. He's quite the little artist.
He loves being outside, and riding his bike. (We got him a bigger bike for his birthday)
He's a total sweetheart. He has the most sensitive, kindest heart I think I've ever seen in a little boy. He's a doting big brother whenever Kate will allow him to be, and he just loves it when she wants him to play with her (their getting along is usually determined by Kate's mood, lol)
He's a big helper... loves to help Kate and me with various things and is trying to be more independent. I think he'll be a fantastic help in a few weeks when Eden is born.
He has 2 best buddies... his friend Josh, and Josh's big sister Maya. They are the cutest little trio. (See picture below)
He is well mannered and a really good boy. He can be whiny at times, but he rarely if ever intentionally does things he shouldn't. He's my little gem.
We are so blessed to have had 5 wonderful years with the sweetest boy on the planet. I love his gentle nature, and sensitive spirit.

Best Buddies... Josh, Luke and Maya

5yrs old.. on the morning of his actual birthday.
