Such an exciting time in a young boys life, the time that marks an age old enough to start a brand new schooling journey, a time to say fond farewells to preschool friends and enter 5 year old boyhood! And more importantly a time to PARTY with SUPERHERO friends!!!!
Caleb's eager enthusiasm marked an early morning start that joyful Sunday, announcing to us that "today is my birthday, and i am 5!" Our beautiful boy celebrated the start of his day by receiving his very own remote controlled super hopper racing vehicle!
As with any anxious weather watching parents, the weekend of the 13th & 14th December marked unstable, stormy weather. I know that I (Meticulous Mummy) was anxiously watching those thundery clouds, wondering how an earth our humble home would survive the onslaught of 20 enthusiastic party goers coming to celebrate this marvelous milestone. We had already booked a jumping castle to entertain all those little superheroes, but forever organised, there needed to be a back up plan, so games of pin the spider on the web and batman entanglement were ready to go (for that just in case!) ...
What can I say, the sun peaked through the dark clouds, the party jump people arrived with oh savior of castles and the young superheroes had a wonderful morning jumping, leaping, bounding, running and enjoying a "sugar rush!" of party feast! I was so proud and impressed of this wonderful little group of preschool, daycare and other friends all playing eagerly together as one. A beautiful way to end a year and celebrate a special occasion! (it must be noted that the majority of Caleb's friends from PreSchool will be attending a different school, but he has had a wonderful year and created cherished little friendships of new and old.)
And once again, I bow and take my hat off to my devoted husband for his creation of the supreme birthday cake! Caleb requested the train cake from the traditional Woman's Weekly Cake Book and Casey rose to the challenge!
The Train Cake Masterpiece
Happy 5th Birthday Caleb James, with the sun fading upon pink skies, you have so much to look forward to and I know that already you are looking forward to and planning your 6th Birthday Fun! *hehehe*
