We had a birthday party for Colby on Saturday. And of course, he had to start off the party by getting caught, red handed!
He didn't actually turn five (yes, he'll now tell you he's five by holding up five fingers, by counting to five, by spelling it out, or by shouting it to you) until Sunday. Boy, did we have a party! Colby's Water Wars! Complete with a huge water slide, a slip and slide, water balloons, water guns, a homemade ice cream cake and chocolate cupcakes, hot dogs and chips, his brothers and sister and lots of happy kids running around, getting adults wet. We had alot of fun! Or as Colby kept saying, "I am having a blast!"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BOY!!!
And, as an update: after church and Colby's Birthday Breakfast on Sunday, but before Craig had to take Kilian home, we had a service for Charlie. We put his pictures in frames, hung his collar and tags from it, and each took a turn saying what we loved most about him. We all got pretty choked up, but it was a good thing. Good that Killian could be here for it (and Colby's birthday) too, good that we were able to go through it together. Glad to be able to put some closure on it. The kids seem to being doing better. And this party really helped too. Thanks for all of your kind words and thoughts. We all appreciate it!
Happy Birthday Colby, your party looked awesome!!!! Wish we could be there to play with you too!!!!
