birthday celebrations

Birthday boy.

Lucas hasn't had an official "friend" birthday party... we keep telling him he can have one in Kindergarten.  In the meantime, we've been appeasing him with having our very special friends, the Vander Wilts, celebrate with us.  Then he gets Jacob, Josh and Jonah! 

 

I love the joy in these next photos.  

So happy.  So sweet.  So perfect. 

Sister {loves} sweets!

 

 

 A family birthday party isn't complete to Lucas without his cousins.  We have always celebrated his birthday with cousin Abby's birthday at Thanksgiving.  For some reason, this year it clicked for him that all of his cousins get to have a birthday party at their own house.  So... Aunt Jen to the rescue and they came to celebrate with Lucas, again.  :)

Lucas picked his cake theme, helped frost, and put the cars on (after driving them all over and smooshing the frosting.  I didn't even care...it's his cake!)

 

 

The best part:  Putting him to bed the night of his birthday he told me, "It was a great day, mom."
