Man alive, Payton is FIVE!

Holding money from Nana & g-ma & g-pa Reidhead

Payton celebrated his FIVE YEAR BIRTHDAY on Monday. He actually got to start his celebration Sunday night at G-ma Julie's. He opened presents from Nana Shirley, g-ma & g-pa Reidhead, g-pa Blair &g-ma Julie, and some new shoes and pj's from our family.

Opening presents--got a new outfit, a big activity book, new pj's and new shoes

Then we sang happy birthday and had a totally awesome birthday cake that grandma Julie made!

Porter needed a turn, too

Then on Monday morning Payton woke up to a white world. I asked him what he wanted for breakfast (and made the mistake of saying he could choose anything he wanted) and he chose to have birthday cake! I talked him into eating some Cinnamon Toast Crunch before the cake. After the cereal he changed his mind and decided he didn't want cake. Porter ate it for him...just like a good brother should do. After breakfast and opening a few presents and cards Payton and Porter played in the snow.That night Payton wanted to go bowling so we invited his cousins to go to Hurricane Family Fun Center (formally known as Brentwood Bowl). It was great!! We had the whole place to ourselves. The kids bowled on the bumper lane and the adults tried to beat them on a regular lane.

You might not be able to see the ball but it barely missed this last pin standing. SO CLOSE TO A SPARE!

Emmie loved this! She clapped for herself every time!!

Tanner has such form!

We ended the night in a fabulous snow ball fight! After the kids were cold and the baby had enough of being in the car waitinf for the snow ball throwers to be done we called it a night. It was a fun way to spend a birthday and I hope Payton remembers what he did when he turned five! We love you Tater Bug!
