Hunter's big 5th birthday party was held on Saturday, 28 January... and it was a great day for our newly five year old and his buddies. Of course Hunter had requested certain friends to come along, so I sent out the initial text (no cute invitations from this household this year). Well, those friends have siblings and parents... and then I'd run into others and think "oh, we can certainly just invite another friend" (WHO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE?)... and in typical Jen fashion, the guest list had sorta expanded. So you can imagine the knot in my tummy when I woke up on Friday morning and the temperature had dropped by what seemed like 5 degrees and the rain was practically horizontal. "Hunter," I stated, "you'd better start praying that God brings good weather for your birthday party tomorrow." It was my only hope - there was absolutely no way we'd be able to squeeze the now 30+ people into my house... So pray he/we did.
And on Saturday morning - as you'd expect - clear skies, bright sun, and summer temperatures! PRAISE GOD!!! We had much to be thankful for! And... much work to do before the guests arrived at 11am.
After creating his super fun train cake last year (as per his request) I figured I was up for anything he'd throw my way (funny how one successful cake can inspire such confidence). So when he said he wanted a monster truck cake I had no doubt I could deliver. But it was Tony's contribution and steady hands that really turned this into a work of edible art!! And you can tell by Hunter's expression - it was good!!!

Wish we could celebrate your birthdays too!!!
Oh and now that he's five - he's eligible to start school and I'm homeschooling him this year... so the adventures continue!!!
