Happy birthday, Colton!!! This past weekend we celebrated your 5th birthday. It’s crazy how time has flown by.
On Sunday we all went over to grandma and grandpa’s for your birthday dinner. We called grandma last last week and you told her what you wanted for your birthday dinner. Between spaghetti and meatballs, steak rollups and pizza, you chose pizza with bacon on it.
We arrived at grandma and grandpa’s and sat down to eat pizza. After we ate, grandma brought out your lemon cake you asked her to make.
After cake we all went to the living room to watch you open presents. Mallory helped, of course.
From grandma and grandpa you got two Where’s Waldo books and a carpet hopscotch. You and Mallory played hopscotch for a while.
On Monday, April 20 you tore off your final birthday ring. Now it was officially your birthday.
Dad got up early and ran up to Dunkin Donuts.
After you ate your donuts, Marlowe Duke brought you some donuts over.
After it warmed up a bit, we all went outside to show you your big birthday present. A new sandbox!
You and Mallory spent all day playing in the sandbox. You both definitely earned a bath night.
Later that evening we had a Zoom meeting with Mimi and Pawpaw Jones so they could see you open their present. A spaceship!
Before going to bed that night you FaceTimed Nana and Nonno so they could wish you a happy birthday. Like always you gave them a tour of our ceilings.
Besides asking for more presents, we think you had a great 5th birthday. Here’s to many more hands.
