Gimme FIVE!!

Max has his star birthday tomorrow - 5 years old on the 5th!!  I knew I needed to post pictures and share tonight since tomorrow is going to be a very busy, fun day!  He is our sweet little blondie boy, our own little Hobbit. He's a jokester (literally!  was telling knock-knock jokes from the moment he could speak practically).  He is soft, squishy (well, not as much as he used to be) and so snuggly!  He has a wonderful, fun, easy-to-get-along-with personality.  Man, I love this kid!!  Can't wait to celebrate FIVE with him tomorrow.

 Newborn...

 One year old...

Two years old...

 Three years old...

Four years old...

We celebrated his birthday with the boy cousins his age this weekend and my parents had a cake for him at the Superbowl party with kids and wives (the guys all gathered at a different house) last night.  So, here's a picture from last night  - 2 days before he turns 5....

5 years old (almost)...

Loving God, you created all the people of the world and you know each of us by name. We thank you for Max, who today celebrates his birthday. Bless him with your love and friendship that he may grow in wisdom, knowledge, and grace. May he  love his family always and be faithful to his friends.
