He's now 5. We were pretty lame for the "party", but I think he felt celebrated. The biggest stumbling block of the day was that I had an infusion that afternoon and it took for.ev.er.
Finally that night we were all together and could focus on Parker. He is such a funny kid. He has a tough exterior, but an ooey gooey center. He loves his family and does a great job of showing it. I love his laugh, his twinkly smile, and his sparkly little eyes.
Parker got to pick the dinner menu and he chose Taco Bell (Jamie could not have been prouder). While he and dad went to pick it up, Aunt Cynth, Jacob, and I quickly decorated the house and yelled "Surprise" when he got home. He was both confused and excited. After dinner we frosted some Parker cupcakes, sang Happy Birthday, and opened presents. My favorite part was at one point he walked around the house looking at the decorations we had put up and said, "You guys sure surprised me". It was a good night.
