My Baby Turned 5! How Did That Happen So Fast?

Asa just celebrated his fifth birthday and this year he asked if he could have a "friend" birthday party, which meant that he just wanted to invite his friends over to celebrate with him. So we invited several families to the local splash pad, ordered a bunch of pizza (although Asa's pizza had to be made at home so as to minimize his fat intake), and ate angel food cake for dessert. He thought it was the perfect day. It looked a little something like this:




The cake had fat-free icing too, which turned out to be tastier than I thought it would be.

















"I'm 5!"

One of my favorite's. . .Creed braves the water too.








And because Asa's birthday is the day after those 10 days in April that are so difficult for so many and because Knox was Asa's buddy, we released balloons in Knox's honor. We miss you, Knox.

I'll try and get the rest up on Facebook in the next couple of days for those of you who are interested. Just thought I'd give a glimpse of Asa's day. He enjoyed it so. We all did.
