Five

For the last six months the boys have been counting down to their birthday.  Finally the night before their birthday, Jack looked at me very concerned and said, "Is my birthday going to come because it is always tomorrow and not today."  I had to explain that tomorrow turns into today and Yes, he was going to finally have his birthday.

They were very excited and helped make their cakes.  Again, they wanted Star Wars so we focused on Star Wars Legos.  They put the little lego men together and picked there spot on the cake.

We met Ryan's parents for dinner and celebrated with them.

Grandpa and Grandma Smyth with Jack, Sarah and Ryder.

We pulled into the driveway after celebrating with Ryan's parents and the kids unloaded and raced into the house.  Ryan and I lagged behind a couple minutes.  Then it hit me that we needed to get inside.  Right before we left we brought out the boys presents downstairs so they could see their wrapped treasures.  By the time we got into the house the boys had unwrapped all of their presents.  Ryan and I just had to laugh because you can't get mad at them on their birthday, they were just too excited.  Sarah was upset because they had opened hers without her being able to give it to them and we had no pictures.  So, we kind of had a do-over with her present.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Carrick for the scooters.

Jack

Do-over.  She gave them the Star Wars Lego game for the Wii.  It was one of their favorite presents.

Two very happy birthday boys.

It has been a crazy laughter filled five years with these two boys.  We love them both very much!!!
