Grace and I were the only ones at home when Leo woke up. He asked me to make cherry pastry, a family favorite recipe, for breakfast. We put candles in his pastry and sang to him. He was only allowed to open Grace's present before school.
Grace wore her cupcake earrings for Leo's birthday.
I joined Leo for lunch with Taco Bell as requested.
I asked Leo if he wanted to bring any treats to school for his birthday. He brought a box of 72 fruit roll ups. He was the most popular kid in 5th grade!
He was able to open more presents after he got home from school. Harrison gave Leo his old bow with arrows. Leo was thrilled.
He wanted a cookie cake with balloons.
He wanted to go to Red Robin for dinner.
Cookie cake, cards, gifts, calls and another song to round out the evening. He had a great birthday and has a few presents yet to collect on.
Leo was born on a Wednesday with Easter the next Sunday. This year, Leo's birthday was on a Wednesday and Easter is the Sunday after. It brings back all the feels.
You've come a long way baby!
