5!!!

Can my oldest little boy really be five years old? As of today, it is true and oh, what a fun five years it has been! We have enjoyed every moment of the last five years with our oldest little boy. He is funny, yet matter of fact. He is high energy, yet focused (when he wants to be). He is independent, yet social. He is tough, yet sweet. He is my little boy, yet he is getting bigger. Words cannot describe how much I love, love, love my precious Mason. Happy birthday, Mason Carter!

Superhero muffins for breakfast, thanks to Mimi.

Cookie cake at school with his friends.

Mason wanted pancakes for his birthday dinner, but the adults had steak and shrimp. Carroll left the heads on the shrimp, and they looked really fancy, but Jackie and I had to have ours taken off before we would touch them! Mason ate steak, too, but no "eyeball shrimp" as he calls it.

Mimi and Grandad (or according to Max, "Bandad") got to be here for Mason's birthday, and we had a really fun visit. Mason is clinging to his birthday presents in this picture.

We had a fun time celebrating Mason's special day with our family!
