Half of a Decade

I cannot believe five years have passed since we welcomed Cohen into this world! Five is such a big number, halfway to 10. Cohen is such a loving, tender-hearted soul. Don't get me wrong, he is "all boy", but he has so much love in his heart. He loves going to the nusing home with his granddad and hugging and loving on the residents; he is notorious for loving on his grandparents and he is alwasy right on time when it come to snuggles and love around the house.

Today we had a wonderful day celebrating as a family. Cohen started off the day with a trip to the meat market with his dad. Next, we were all off to Toys R Us to pick out his special gift. He chose a pack of realistic-looking dirt bikes with 2 drivers, little helmets and kickstands. So totally Cohen!

Next was Funigans where we played and ate junk food for lunch! Here is the birthday boy gearing up for a pinball game: A spirited game of air hockey with Daddy:

Abe looking closley for more Skee Balls! He was throwing them all over the place, no where near the intended target.

The brothers teaming up for more pinball:

Bowling with Piper (who is striking quite a pose in the first pic):

And climbing the rock wall:

Both kids were climbing experts! They flew right up the rock walls and rang the bells at the top about four times in a row. This was Cohen's first successful climb!

Lastly, we had pizza and cake with Poppy. Poppy always calls Cohen "Poppy's little, big man." Cohen seems to love the nickname and always showers Poppy with hugs and kisses. What a special day to celebrate an awesome kid!
