Maxwell is basically having the never ending birthday. He had his party with Susan, his friend party, and then we still had to celebrate his actual birthday plus celebrate his birthday at school! Phew…turning 5 is fun!
On the morning of Maxwell’s 5th, he had a giant surprise waiting for him in the kitchen!
Leonardo was there to play ninja all day! ha! Spencer quickly claimed the other balloons as his because, as he told us all day, “it’s MY birfday!”
We even had a special “5” breakfast!
Maxwell then had to get dressed up and head to church to share his big day with Samantha. I don’t think it really bothered him because it just meant he got to play with his cousins, Katie and Anna, after church. He couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present than that! He requested a “brownie cake” instead of regular cake and, thanks to a springform pan, I was able to make that happen!
He sure was happy to blow out that “5” candle! Maxwell started school the next day so on Wednesday we sent him to school with a birthday treat for all of his friends. He told me on Monday afternoon that he really wanted Spiderman cookies….ummm…those definitely seemed above my pay grade when it came to cookie decorating! But, with a little help from YouTube, I figured it out and ended up with some pretty cool looking Spidey cookies if I do say so myself!
The most important thing was that Maxwell thought they were awesome and even “tasted better than he thought they would!” ha!
He had a great school birthday and even got a crown made out of his favorite colors!
I sure do love this little 5 year old and loved getting to celebrate him over and over!
It was a long celebration but it was a great celebration of Maxwell turning 5!
Loved all the celebrations! Hope Maxwell knows how special Momma is! With Sept off, time to ramp up for October. Lots of candles to blow out then.
The cookies were soooo creative !!!
