Happy Birthday Countdown!!! Jonathan's 4th and 5th years...

Christmas 2008. Jonathan was one handsome 5 year old!
This was one of our many, many Christmas card rejects from 2008. Looking back through them just now, I think they are all completely precious. I have no idea how I ever eliminated any of them!

Jonathan and I at his 5th birthday party! I am so proud of my boy, always was, and always will be.



Ta-da! Jon was showing off the Spongebob Squarepants I made him for his 5th birthday. I think this was actually my practice one. I made the real one the day of. But they were both real cakes... and they were both somehow eaten. This was the first time I ever attempted to decorate a cake. It turned out to be a little more difficult and stressful than I thought! But Jonathan really did love it. And even better, we had a Spongebob pinata that year! It was like an I Hate Spongebob party... first we beat the candy out of him with a stick, and then we ate him. :)


We were at Grandma Jane's in Kentucky. Jonathan was giving Anna a piggy back ride. So sweet!



Winter of 2008. Jonathan was 4 and Anna was 2. As I looked through these pictures, I found it harder to find one of Jon by himself. He and Anna are together in most of them. In the above pic, he was using the mouse and playing computer. He was happy to let Anna tag along. MOST of the time.

Jonathan and Anna working together at the beach. Jonathan had just turned 4, which meant that Anna was approaching 2! I can't believe it has been 3 years since this picture was taken.

Jonathan at his 4th birthday party! He had a Transformers theme! This was also the year (2007) that we went to Disney for the first time. We were going to just take him, and leave Anna behind, but he insisted she go along because he knew "she would really want to see the princess castle." Always such a good kid!
