5 Years Old!

My sweet Garet Boy turned five on St. Patty's Day! We had a week long celebration that started with a shopping trip and lunch with Grandma Cable. He got to pick out a toy and spend the afternoon with Grandma! He loved it! Thanks so much Grandma.  The truck he picked out gets played with all day long:)

Then we had a Cable Family party to celebrate Garet and Scarlett's b-day's!! Garet had a volcano cake and Scarlett had a barbie cake.

On his birthday he got breakfast in bed (baked oatmeal-his favorite)!  He told me that night that this was his favorite part of the whole day!  Then we had a preschool party with his friends.  We played St. Patrick's games, ate shamrock cupcakes, and went on a treasure hunt for the leprachaun's gold.  It was a lot of fun.  I didn't take any pictures though, darn it!

 Camille gave him this rocket; she bought it with her own money and Mom and Dad gave him the scooter.  He was so excited!

 Then on Saturday we had a party with the Taylor family.  We celebrated Garet, Taylor, and Grandpa's b-day's!

Garet got this construction/tool set from G & G!  He is in heaven!

 And, we surprised him with baby chicks!  The kids were so enthralled!  Now Jared has to get busy building a chicken coop!

 Of course, we had to do the volcano cake again because it was such a big hit!

 Grandpa & Garet.  Best buddies!

 So far we've had better success with the chicks than we had with the cats!  Although we still have our kitty!  This is a record for us:)

 We sure love our Garet!  I can't believe he is going to go to Kindergarten this year.  We had kindergarten roun-up today and he looked so grown up.  He is such a sweet, tender-hearted little guy!  I love him to pieces.
