Jonah's Birthday!

My Nephew Jonah turned 5 on November 9th and had a party on Saturday. It was Marcelus' first real birthday party! He is just starting to understand what birthday party means...

This was on the front door as we approached...

All the kids found their goodie bags (treasure) using puzzle pieces each got with their invitation. They put the puzzle together to form the map.

Here's some of the kids after finding their treasure...

Opening present was horrendous. Before not too long, this was the scene. Crowding, confusion and loud kids! I just wanted to see what Jonah was getting...and take a few pictures... Jonah got some really great gifts including some puzzles, animal figures, and Thomas trains. Marcelus gave him a fuzzy lined jean jacket for the winter and a Thomas card game. Singing and eating cake and ice cream. I thought it was real fitting for his two cousins to sit next to him. The cake was awesome. I love that I captured a little 5 year old conversation between Jonah and cousin Matthew. The birthday group!

Jonah will probably remember this Pirate party forever!
