happy 5th birthday

Jude turned 5 today! As I say for each of my kids...how can he be 5 already? But Jude loved the fact that he had a birthday and used every opportunity to use that to his benefit. We heard many times today "but I'm the birthday boy" or "since I'm the birthday boy..." He also loves the fact that he is so old now. He even told us that he felt like he was 5...as apposed to yesterday when he was 4.

As you've heard on this blog one of Jude's favorite things lately are Lego's, so of course we had to have a Lego party. He had a few friends over and we had Lego games, Lego party favors, Lego decorations, Lego cakes and just some free play with all of Jude's "neatly" organized Lego's.

We started off with a speed game of building a Lego person.Jude's favorite way of taking Lego's apart is with his teeth. Many of his Lego's look like the dog chewed them all up...except we don't have a dog.

Our last game was called "who can pick up the most Lego's" and amazingly they all joined in with much enthusiasm. Then we weighed their bags to see who had the most Lego's...plus the living room was all cleaned up before everyone left...bonus! Jude provided some of the table decorations...
...which went well with his Lego cake. Then we topped off the party with some present opening...which consisted of more Lego's. A great way to end a party. Boy was this little boy excited...you just can't tell by his face. He's a little reserved in that area.
