It's hard for me to believe that he's already 5! Seems like just recently he was our biggest newborn, weighing in at 9 lbs! Jonas has always had his own personality; he's our only one who hated to be swaddled and I've never seen a baby love TV like him. Jonas continues to march to his own beat at times but has really become more laid back in the last year. We love him dearly and can't wait to see what this year brings!
Jonas's birthday fell on a preschool day this year. He loved celebrating with this school friends, and, to top it off, it was letter J that day, so he felt extra special!
That afternoon, he opened gifts from us and Oma and Opa. He loves his Super Mario shirt!
When Gigi and Mr. Don arrived on Saturday, he opened the shared gift from them and us. It was exactly what he wanted! Reef couldn't wait to get started building it, and Jonas let him tackle that job! Jonas did a great job building another Ninjago set; Troy says he did great for a first try!
This year's party was all about Ninjago! These boys are OBSESSED with all things ninjas and legos, so it was a no-brainer (after we convinced Jonas that he couldn't replicate Reef's Angry Bird party).
Troy and I painted these guys, and each party guest got two.
Jonas saw these on Pinterest, and Troy made it happen for him.
A last minute addition to the menu: Ninja Sushi Bar. It's made out of candy and junk food like Twinkies (this was the week before Twinkie went out of business). The kids loved it!
Ninja Nunchuks.
The Craftons loved being in the sandbox.
The ninja cake. Obviously, the green ninja is a favorite right now.
I think he had a great day, and we all loved celebrating with him!
