Amos | Turning 5

Oh sweet Amos!  Why did you have to go and turn five!  My sweet baby boy is growing up so fast and this mama can hardly handle it.

Amos is such a sweet, kind hearted kid.  He loves to make friends and play with other children but then he's completely happy to play by himself.  He's so witty and there is NEVER a dull moment with him around.  You just never know what he'll say or do.  Amos is so snuggly and freely hugs and kisses us.  He loves Hannah & Samuel and is a really good big brother to Shiloh.

His birthday was on a Tuesday so I made his favorite meal -tortellini with alfredo sauce- then we headed to the mall so he could pick out his birthday gifts.  He chose a few Star Wars figures and a big set of Avengers action figures.  We came back home and sang Happy Birthday and enjoyed some delicious cake.

We had his party the following Saturday and he chose a Star Wars theme.  I had so much fun planning this party and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  Amos clearly had a blast!!
Bobby was out of town due to a work trip so Hannah & Samuel worked so hard to make sure that everything was ready and that Amos has a great time.  They're amazing kids!


Food included:
-tie fighters (oreo wafters and marshmallows)
-Light sabers (pretzel sticks and melting chocolate)
- Wookie Cookies (chocolate chip cookies)
-Vader Veggies (carrot sticks, cauliflower, bell peppers and cucumbers)
-Sarlacc Pit Dip (Ranch dip)



Our sweet friend from Verge offered to make these cupcakes for Amos and they were so adorable!!


We were glad sweet Audrey joined us for the party!

Hannah & Samuel wrapped the forks into the napkins and taped on the light saber handles.


For gifts he received a ton of action figures, a Cars set, a Star Wars car set, some Matchbox cars and a remote control car.
