easton turned 5 years old on october 16th, which also happened to be just a few days before we moved... so we opted out of a big party, but we still celebrated!
5 is a pretty big deal :)
the 16th fell on a sunday this year, and we started our celebrations on the friday before and made it a weekend of partying! we started off with having easton's cousin tyson come over for a sleepover. since our house was in boxes i decided to decorate his room, and since he had a BYU themed birthday, COSMO came and helped while the boys were sleeping! (cosmo may have gotten an idea on pinterest to fill the room with balloons so when they woke up, it would be a fun surprise... cosmo needed about 50 more balloons to add to the 25 he had gotten, to get the effect he was trying to get)
before we did anything else that morning, easton got to open all of his gifts!
nixon looks pretty scared here, but i love how happy easton is for the gift that nixon got for him :)
easton is waaaayyy into legos right now! looooves them!
after breakfast and boys put together the lego set, we set off for a fun day of BYU!
we went bowling, the bean museum & byu creamery, then to tyson's house to watch a byu football game!
on sunday (his real birthday) we drove up to woods cross to go to church at our new ward, then after we went to my sister's house in orem to have cake with some of my family!
last year & this year, I have traded cakes with my friend for pictures.... best ever! (and writing this reminds me that i never posted about easton's awesome pirate party when he turned 4...)
we let him eat the whole football part of the cake... let's just say he was feeling a little sick (and messy) when he was done.
the past 5 years have gone by so quick, yet i can hardly remember life when our family was just dan and i...
