Kellan Turns Five

August 23, 2015, Kellan turned 5!

It's crazy to think that he is already 5, but alas, he is.

He woke up to find balloons floating above his birthday gift, a new soccer net to support his love of the game. He was SO Excited!

First up for the day, opening a few gifts.

Ahhh... giving his big brother some love for the gift.

We sure love these two boys and they sure love each other.

Wahoo! New soccer ball. Now he's ready for the upcoming soccer season.

Before we could head out to the party, Kellan couldn't wait to get started on some of his legos.

To celebrate, we took Kellan and some of his friends to Build-a-Bear. Kellan LOVES stuffed animals and adding another one to his collection was a dream come true.

Getting started, they heard all about making a new bear.

As the birthday boy, Kellan marched them all over to pick out their bear.

Giving their bear heart some love.

Giving their bear heart a kiss.

Bringing their bear to life with a bit of stuffing.

Ahhhh.... nothing but love for this new puppy named Pup Pup.

Evan and his new bear.

Giving their new bears a bath.

Oliver decided that he was too old and too cool to be building a bear, so he opted out of the fun. He may have tried to opt out of Mommy hugs, but this Mama wouldn't let that happen.

Captain Build-a-Bear to the rescue.

The whole party gang.

Kaitlyn, Oliver, Evan, Emerson

Samantha, Lily, Cole

Once the bears were built, Kellan rang the bell.

Then he blew out the candle and made a wish.

New Bears in hand, we all marched down to Red Robin for a bit of lunch.

Kellan and Kaitlyn had a lot of catching up to do.

Who's that man behind the stache?

Ahh... birthday boy, Kellan.

Stache Lady Emerson

Milk Man Kellan and Kutie Kaitlyn

Birthday Boy, Kellan and his Big Five cake.

Happy Birthday, Big Boy!

Mmm.... cake!

Happy Birthday Blue Eyes!

After a fantastic day of celebrating, we headed home to relax on the patio. As much as Mommy and Daddy wanted to relax, Kellan was ready to dive into his gifts, so he did.

Oliver was right by his side to help him discover the full capacity of his gifts.

As the day started winding down toward an end, Kellan fielded many calls from family. He loves talking on the phone but believe-it-or-not, he eventually declined phone calls from being worn out.
