Magic and Mayhem

I decorated the downstairs for the week last night. With all of the birthdays in a row, I’ll just leave it decorated until Sunday. Yellow crepe paper streamers are hung throughout the kitchen, dining room and living room with lots of balloons and a Happy Birthday banner.

Jack came downstairs this morning and his eyes were as wide as saucers. He looked enchanted and so happy.

He opened some family birthday presents, including a really cool pirate hand hook that’s a metal detector.

The cake is in the oven and I need to get ready and make frosting. We’re meeting Grandma and Grandpa in a nearby town for lunch at the drive in, and then a couple of friends at the park for a small celebration.

My baby Jack is 5! Time goes so fast.
