Luke has his first birthday celebration



What an exciting day July 23rd was in our house. Luke turned 5 and he had no idea what a birthday was or what was in store for him. I started the day before by playing him the birthday song and he told me that he knew it from school. We sang it a couple of times and he loved it! His version is a little different because he says, "Happy Durchday." He's still working on his speech pronunciation. It was very cute hearing him ask me if tomorrow was his durchday.

We decided to start the day with ice cream cake because it got a little smashed when Luke carried it into the house the night before. I highly recommend having ice cream for breakfast. We were all in a great mood after that! I also decided to let Luke make his own cake and see what cooking was all about. He loves to help out and he was great about following all of the steps on the box.







When it was time to light the candles, and sing, he could barely contain his enthusiasm. He kept saying Luke is 5, Luke is 5! We gave him some of the trick candles because he loves to blow them out and we thought that this would give him the opportunity to do it a couple of times.





It was so much fun being able to be a part of this very first birthday for one special little boy.
