Tuesday was Justin's 5th birthday. Wow! Where have the last 5 years gone? Seriously, it doesn't feel like it was 5 whole years ago that Justin was the tiny little guy wrapped in a blanket.
I was seriously worried that Justin would be sharing his birthday with his new sibling. Thankfully, Elijah decided to come 2 days before, so both boys will have their own birthdays. I've always found "The Birthday Week" with Kaitlyn and Nathan to be a bit crazy. Their birthdays are just 4 days apart, so planning two separate parties and making two separate cakes always makes for an exhausting week. But that should be a piece of cake from now on as Elijah and Justin will be having birthdays just 2 days apart!!! At least for the next couple of years, Elijah won't know anything if we just skip the party! =)
Because I had just come home from the hospital the afternoon before, I wasn't up to planning a huge party. So we just had a little family party. The kids had fun playing with the glow-in-the-dark necklaces, glasses and earrings that Grammy brought them. Then we opened presents and had cupcakes and ice cream. Pretty simple, but I think Justin enjoyed himself. I was glad after the all the fuss over the new baby that Justin could get his special day and have some of the focus be on him as well.
