Christian turns 5!!!

Oh, boy, do we ever love this 5 year old!  Here are some really cute happy pictures from his actual birthday.
We had fun bowling in the morning. Then, that night we did something that Christian had been planning for nearly a year- we went to Build-a-Bear so that he could get a dog of his own! He has wanted one since Victoria got Lily last year for her birthday.  He picked out one that looked just like Lily, but a boy of course.
 
He stuffed it.
Chose a heart, made a wish, and

and put the heart inside his new dog, "Bruthen."
 
Grant had fun too. I wonder if he'll want a dog to join the group for his birthday.
Christian and Victoria bathed Bruthen. 
Then, Christian chose an outfit for him and got his birth certificate.
 
Christian loved his time at Build-a-bear
 
And couldn't be happier with his new dog, Bruthen! What a perfect  birthday present!

Next, he got a giant cookie at Bakers Crust. 

But, he couldn't wait to get to the car to introduce Bruthen to Lily!

 
It was an exciting moment for the big kids and their dogs. 
And by the way, he has played with his new dog a lot already! Christian has such a great imagination and plays so nicely with his stuffed animals.

Happy birthday, birthday boy!
