Phin at FIVE

Phin turned 5 at the beginning of June.  Here is the last picture of him at 4...just as he was heading to bed.

He was very excited to see a new tepee the next morning.

He also loved his birthday table.  The table was decorated with presents, streamers, balloons and doughnuts.

We had him stand up next to our measuring stick and get measured...a new birthday tradition.  There are also pictures of him as he has grown.  We hung up the pictures at the height he was at that particular age.

Then we got around to presents.

His favorite by far was VOLTRON.

We spent the rest of the day together as a family.  We went to a baptism...crazy to think that we are just 3 years away from Phin's baptism.  We also spent the afternoon doing things that Phin loves to do. 

Phin is so excited to go to Kindergarten in the Fall.  He loves Millie and Silas and is a wonderful big brother...most of the time.  He is very outgoing and talks to just about anyone he meets.  He loves to play Daddy's arcade and really loves just about anything that Daddy is doing.  He also loves to figure out how things work.  He comes up with creative ideas.  He continually asks "What should we do now?"  He likes to be busy and we try to keep him busy.  We sure do love our Phinner.
