Belated Birthday

I was just getting ready to blog about the twins birthday and I realized that I never put anything about Cole's birthday on here. It was before we had the Internet and I guess I never went back and added anything, my bad! I am still having a hard time comprehending the fact that my oldest is now five years old. I can't believe he will be starting Kindergarten next year. Scary!

He was so excited about his birthday. He was thrilled when he saw that his cake was a Transformers one-with Optimus Prime on it. He can't decide whether Optimus Prime or Bumble Bee is his favorite.
It was fun watching Cole open his presents. I can't believe how grown up he is! He is at the point where we don't have to remind him to say thank you or hope he has a good reaction. It was so fun to watch!

When we asked Cole what kind of party he wanted, he immediately said "I want a swim party!" We just smiled knowing that it probably wouldn't happen in February, but then Damon had the idea of having the party at Dimple Dell. Cole invited his cousins Jake and River and his friend Jackson to the party. We did not want a huge party since we were now going swimming. Dimple Dell has a huge slide and big water playground so the boys had lots of fun. Cole told us it was the "Best Party Ever!"
Cole got a VTech learning game system for his birthday with a couple different games. His favorite game is Shrek-because he gets to help Shrek skateboard around trying to spell different words. It is so cute watching him play and look for different letters to spell the words. He gets so excited-he totally looks like Damon when he concentrates-he bites his lip and plays with his tongue. I love watching him with Damon. He has so many of the same mannerisms and body language. I love it!
