I know right, two posts in a row after months of nothing. Go me.
Daniel turned five in March. He was so excited. He has a habit of declaring what type of birthday he should get. Last year it was space, and yes he excepted all space toys. This year was Star Wars and he expected all toys from that genre. Needless to say thank goodness Williams Sonoma had a bunch of Star Wars stuff for cakes and cupcakes.
For his birthday weekend, Grandma was here so she took Daniel and Alice and their cousin Josh to Kangaroo Zoo. Now for those who have not been, Kangaroo Zoo in Lindon is super fun. A little pricey but man they had so much fun and ended up exhausted so who can truly complain? It is a whole bunch of bouncy things for the kids to play on. Mostly slides and a few houses. Especially since it ended up that Grandma paid! Daniel would have never left but Alice almost fell asleep on the floor. Charlie did great and slept the whole time. Way to go!
For his birthday, it was embarrassing and I am glad I have such great sisters and friends. We had a lot more planned but a certain three week old made it impossible to do anything and eventually we even ended up with store bought frosting for the cupcakes. I know that may not be gross to some of you, but man I was upset. But eventually the cookies got frosted and the cupcakes got devoured and Daniel got a light saber so he was happy.
This picture makes me laugh, I love that at kid birthdays all the kids are so stinking excited about opening presents.
Just because he turned five, here are five things I love about Daniel.
1. His curiosity (while it truly may kill him) is crazy and I love how much he loves to learn.
2. I love how close he is to the spirit and that he knows Jesus is real.
3. Daniel is a very kind hearted person who cares about how other kids feel.
4. I love that his "knock knock" joke phase is over and I survived it.
5. Daniel cracks me up with all his ridiculous phrases, like "my brain is heavy!"
