Truman is 5!

Truman had tons of fun on his birthday and got way too much stuff, as usual. We went mini-golfing as a family, which is one of his current obsessions. We had a small family party that evening, with Granny, Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Amy joining us to celebrate.

We had a Super Mario theme and I ordered a frosting sheet from Ebay, which was great. However, there was a ton of drama getting it applied to the cake (Long story, but it involved going to Sam's, having the cake associate pass out and go to the hospital in an ambulance, and then another associate refusing to put the frosting sheet on). It was such a cool cake. There was a time when I was convinced I would never buy a store-bought cake for the kids' birthdays, as I was determined to bake them from scratch. However, on Truman's first birthday that cake kind of collapsed and so I just gave up!


I created a Mario scavenger hunt for Truman to complete in order to find is "big" present, which was the Super Mario Sunshine game. He had a great time, and Daddy helped! It is hard to believe that he will be starting school in just a few weeks...
