We celebrated Caleb's 5
th birthday one week early so that his Reynolds cousins could celebrate with him. We had decided on an Olympic theme, with a definite nod to the
Wii game,
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. The kids all spun the globe to choose which country they'd "represent," then they made flags, we had a parade of nations (Mitchell was the torch-bearer). Then we had a few "events" for the kids to participate in, culminating in the Rhythmic Gymnastics competition (some good video from that one :-). After his cousins helped Caleb open his presents, we had Chinese food for dinner (Caleb loves fortune cookies--and yes, I do know that fortune cookies aren't truly Chinese). Overall, it was a successful birthday. The only problem is that Caleb keeps trying to convince me that he needs more presents today (his real birthday) :-).
