Weston wanted to have his 5th birthday party at the bowling alley.  We invited just boys, and he had a lot of fun.  Weston and his buddies all took turns throwing (not rolling) the balls down the lane.  Will described it as "controlled chaos", but it was a perfect day for the birthday boy.  Connor's very first bowl was a strike, if you can believe that!  We ate hot dogs, chips, and had Spider-Man cake.

For Weston's special birthday dinner, he requested spaghetti and salad.  So, Will and I made him his favorite meal.  Mimi, Grandy, Megan, and Nate joined us for dinner also.  We started a new tradition this year.  After dinner, we all went around the table and shared what we love and appreciate about the birthday boy.  Just a few of the characteristics shared about Weston included: a servant's heart, kind, caring, generous, loves God, creative, loves to learn new things, & excited about (everything) in life.  Weston, you are such a special boy, and Mommy & Daddy love you very much.  We are so proud of the boy that you have become.  We have fun watching you dress up as different superheroes all the time, even the ones that you make up.  You will always be our superhero!
