Caleb, Ariel and I celebrated Caleb's birthday a day early. I have a wedding that I am photographing today and I love to be able to spend the entire day with him on his birthday and didn't want to miss a minute so we celebrated a day early. We started the day off getting my haircut. My kids did such a good job being still and calm while I got my hair done, it was much needed. After that, we went to IHOP and got a pancake breakfast.
I cooked his favorite dinner last night. Grilled chicken, homestyle mac and cheese with corn on the cob. He requested strawberry shortcake with blueberries for his birthday cake this year. Here he is blowing out the candles.
He got a fresh box of crayons for his birthday. This was his favorite gift of the day! Who can blame him...I enjoyed them to as I sat in the floor with him last night and colored with him!
Shortly after midnight I crept up into his room and captured my boy in dreamland. I just love him so much!
Here are a few questions I asked him today...
