A turns 5

This year, we celebrated A's birthday only twice (in the past, we've averaged 3 parties a year), but man, did we make those two parties count. The first party was just for family and included cousin AN who was visiting from Florida by way of New York. Party #2 was held at a local bounce house where A and 18 of his friends (plus Z) jumped, climbed, and slid down slides to their hearts' content. It was fun for the kids, and A had a wonderful time.

Thank you to all of you who made one or both of these parties as special as they were. Here are a selection of photos from both events.
