Connor's 5th Birthday

We celebrated Connor's 5th birthday over the weekend and on Monday, which was his actual birthday. I took vacation days on Friday and Monday to spend some extra time with him. So, we had plans of going to Piney Grove camping and we were going to grill steaks and open presents, and have cake and ice cream. But, it started storming on Friday, and you can't stay in a tent with it storming. So, we had to cancel Friday night. Then, we planned on having it at our house on Saturday night. Well, Saturday, Connor starts getting sick and running fever. So we had to cancel it for Saturday night also. He was wanting to open his present so bad, so his Mammaw Mike brought his Lord of the Rings cake over and we had a mini party.

                                                      
                                                                     He loved his cake

                                            Blowing out his candles, he literally blew them
                                                       out 30 times, his favorite thing.

                                           Opening his presents from Gan Gan, Pap, Heather,
                                            BJ, Mammaw Sue, Pappaw Tommy, Uncle Brock
                                                                        and Aunt Mamie

                                          Opening presents from Mammaw and Pappaw Mike

                                                                Connor at Mt. Fugi

On his actual birthday, we took him to his favorite restaurant, Mt. Fugi! They brought him out fried ice cream and played the birthday song. He loved it. Then we went on the hunt for one last birthday gift, Light Up Shoes. His cousin, Holly, threw him a surprise birthday party on Thursday with his other cousins. He was very surprised, and kept telling everyone how much he appreciated everything. Such a blessing to have this sweet boy for 5 years, Happy Birthday, Connor!!!
