A few days later we had Deacon's birthday party, on his actual birthday. It's always a busy month for me, but it was so fun. On the morning of his birthday, I made Deacon some waffles with ice cream and strawberries on them, and he was so thrilled! He had been asking for them for a while. Then I took him to get a haircut and I let him pick out a couple of toys there too. He picked a dino dig toy, and some cloud slime. When we got home, he played with them for a long time and dug out all the fossils to build a T-rex. It was so cute how excited he was and how he kept saying "this is the best day EVER!!" He still had school that day so I sent him off, telling him when he came home he'd get to decorate his cake with me and have his party! At school they celebrated him as well and he came home with a birthday sticker on him telling me he had a great day.
I had been busy decorating the house and making the cake while he was gone (also picking up Bentley from school) so he could come home and help me decorate it right away. He really wanted a Killer Whale party so I got him a big whale for the cake and a bunch of other rubber sea animals to decorate with. We also put sprinkles on the top and all around the bottom.
We just had family, of course, and Bryce came over. Deacon requested Panda Express for dinner, so we ordered that and Jeff picked it up on the way home from work. It was funny to see Deacon chow down on dinner while Bryce talked all through it! Afterwards they ran off to play together. I didn't have a ton of activities planned because I knew they would mostly just wanna play. I didn't even get to the kinetic sand that Deacon wanted to do, so I saved that for later in the week for something for him to do. We did do a Pinata, though, and the kids loved that! Both grandparents stopped by again to give Deacon presents and he came out with some pretty awesome stuff! After opening presents, they pretty much just played with them all for the rest of the night. We also sang to Deacon of course and ate cake! It was a very relaxed, but super fun time!!
I can't believe Deacon is 5! It's crazy every year to see how much they've grown and how different they are. I love how grateful and generous Deacon is. I also love how he makes us laugh all the time and has this silly face he always makes. His laugh is the best! His random facts about animals like how with seahorses, "the dads lay the babies mom," never get old. He loves board games and cuddling. He often asks for back massages and moves my hand to where he wants it. I love how he never wants to miss a good night hug and kiss and how he kisses the baby in my tummy so sweetly. Deacon is always up for some fun and I just love his laid back personality. Happy 5th Birthday Deacon!!
