My first, my baby, my Damen turned five on July 2nd. It's hard to describe in words how our lives have changed in these last five years. It's hard to remember the 8 years we had together before he was born, they're so insignificant in comparison. Damen was a miracle, a blessing, a wonderful gift. He is so sweet and fun, very imaginative and social. He always asks where his friends are, when are they coming over, can we go to their house, he looks for and makes friends as soon as we get to the park. He loves his family! He talks about his many cousins all the time and asks when we can go see them, or Grandma's and Papa's, who he also loves to call and chat with.
For his birthday he wanted a car cake. There are piston cups on top of the cupcakes.
He also wanted a pinata, really really bad! We found this one for $5, and it even has Lightning Mcqueen on it!
We partied at the park with his friends on the 1st, it was too windy to get the candles lit, but you get the idea.
Then on the 2nd, after driving for 10 hours to Redding, CA, our friends had cupcakes and ice cream ready to celebrate ON his birthday!
On the fourth of July we made it to my parents house in Washington and had ANOTHER night of singing, cake (strawberry short cake), presents and of course fireworks!
He is still my baby.
