Happy Birthday Hunter!

The celebrating started on Sunday! We invited our family to come for dinner in honor of Hunter's birthday. He could hardly wait for the guests to arrive.

We had a fun time visiting, eating, and watching Hunter open his presents.

I think the highlight of the evening was the Spiderman cake! I baked it, and Jared graciously agreed to design the Spiderman face. He very carefully worked away with Hunter at his side the whole time chanting, "this is the best cake ever dad!"

Hunter very carefully placed the candles on his prized cake.

I accidentally bought those magic candles that relight themselves, it didn't go over too well. He just wanted them to burn out.... oops.
Emma went down for a nap before our company arrived and unfortunately missed out on all of the fun. Although she was very quiet up in her room, something tells me she didn't go right to sleep.

Today is Hunter's actual birthday. We started off this morning with breakfast. Hunter had requested bacon, pancakes and eggs only he wanted the eggs to be red and the pancakes to be blue.... spiderman colors.
After preschool, Hunter had 5 friends over for a spiderman birthday party. He spent hours decorating the front door with a sign that said Hunter's Spiderman birthday and cut outs of spiderman.

For one of the games the kids wore these spiderman masks and had to "catch the web" as I sprayed silly string into the air. It was hilarious to watch.

I love birthdays and always have so much fun celebrating them with the kids. We love Hunter and feel so lucky to have him as part of our family. Happy 5th birthday Hunter!
