Someone's Five!

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!
