Grant's Birthday

Grant woke up to a Happy Birthday banner on his bed.  He was so excited.  He appreciates the little details.  He loved all of the birthday decor we put up and the "Happy Birthday" and "5" that we drew (with a chalk marker) on the windows and mirrors in the house.

Brett wanted me to take a picture of his bed too.  :)

Grandma & Grandpa Jackson came over that night and gifted Grant with a Captain Moroni (Grant is loving Captain Moroni right now) and two swords (just like Capt. Moroni's).  He was thrilled.

It was getting late and Keith and I were tired.  We really just wanted to put the boys to bed, but we told Grant that we would roast marshmallows and have a campout in the back yard.  So we did.  They thought it was so much fun.  I sang the boys to sleep in the tent and then Keith put them in their beds in the house.  

A couple days later Grant had a birthday party with some friends and one of his favorite cousins that's his age.  We played some fun games in the backyard.  Keith made them all airplanes and they flew them around for a while.

We played with the parachute.  We also had a ball throwing contest and a relay race.  And of course the kids loved just running around doing their own thing for a while.

We barbecued hot dogs and had a yummy chocolate baseball cake.  Thank you Costco!  I was going to make Grant a cake shaped like a number five and then the day before I got smart and had Keith buy a cake.  I'm so glad we did that.  It was such an easy and fun birthday party.

Camille was such a sweet heart and napped in her swing for most of the party.
