Trevor the FIVE year old

Trevor's 5th birthday was a big event at our house.  Bigger than Christmas....well, the countdown to it at least.  Starting about 3 weeks before his birthday, Brynlee would remind us how many days there were until T's big day.  The day finally arrived.  He turned FIVE!  When Trevor woke up, Landon said he wasn't five yet because he had to wait until the time he was actually born, but I assured him that, yes, he was born at 4:30 in the morning so he was officially 5.  Landon thought that was totally unfair since he had to wait until 3:11 in the afternoon (for some reason that fact has stuck with him).  Oh Landon.  If only life was fair.

The night of the 20th was a very busy evening and we ended up not having his cake that night since I got home from work pretty late.  Grandma Barton came over after work to give him his present....a fleece cheetah print blanket.  He loved it and was happy to have a blanket to keep him all warm and cozy.  The blankets he had on his bed were baby-sized ones that barely covered him.  Poor kid.  I don't know why I didn't ever get him a bigger one sooner!

Opening presents the night of his birthday...

The Nerf swords can be two separate swords or combined into a double sword.  The look on Landon's face pretty much explains his attitude the whole night as Trevor was opening his presents.  We called it birthday present envy, kinda like Woody had laser envy.

Ellie enjoyed his presents as much as Trevor did!  She kept taking them over to Grandma.

The next day we had cake and ice cream after the kids got home from school.  It was a half day so he just had to wait until after lunch for his cake.  He wanted a chocolate cake with white frosting and red "emma ems" (M&Ms).  Because red is his favorite color.  And Angry Birds.

I want the piece with the WHOLE five on it, mom.  You got it, birthday boy!

 

He loves to tell everyone he is five.  Of course now his favorite number is 5 and he wants five of everything.  The best thing is when he eats five carrots or five apple slices because who would want to eat 4 of them when you are 5.
