That's right! Our littlest boy isn't so little anymore. Sniff. Sniff.
Dennis turned five years old today!
What a cause for celebration!
It seems like just yesterday that we were celebrating his 2nd birthday! Boy has he blossomed!
His teacher gave him a card and a cool calculator. He came home squealing with delight!
After dinner we sang happy birthday. Rachel decorated his cake.
No words needed. :)
Dennis was cute reading his homemade birthday cards.
"Happy birthday Dennis! I love you!" he read.
Julia immediately began building the car garage that Dennis got. It was so complicated that she called for back-up.
Happy birthday sweet boy! We all love, love, love, love, love you!
Yes we do!
