Evan turned 5!

Dear Evan,

So you turned 5 back in September.....and mommy thought she published this post but just realized she did not!  OOPS!

Some of your highlights as a 5 year old:

- You love to draw.  You're super creative and a great artist.  Your teachers tell us during "free time" at school that you love to draw and write stories.  It's amazing to see what you create!
- You make the best paper airplanes ever.  I think you started those around 4 years old and the airplanes you "design" are so impressive.
- You continue to take swim lessons but you just hate back stroke and getting water in your ears!
- You are sooo energetic.  You'll spend the whole day at school, come home and play and still be ready for another activity at night.  Where do you get all this energy?!
- You've mastered the alphabet and your numbers...I think up to 30.
- You love to read and have us read to you.
- You love super heroes - Iron Man, The Hulk, Spider Man, Batman
- You're really a sweet boy.  You sure can be a stinker and drive Dad & I crazy, but at heart you're super sweet.  And while Tyler can "ruin" a lot of your activities or color all over a book you made and make you upset, it's really sweet to watch how much you truly care about him.  You're his older brother and he really does look up to you already!  You also care a lot about your friends.  Sometimes when we're shopping you want to buy gifts for them!
- You are competitive.  You played soccer this summer and are continuing with it this winter and you just hate if someone is getting in your way or better than you!  Hopefully as you get older you'll learn from this to make yourself better.  :)

Me: "OK Evan, hold Tyler's hand and run with him so we can get a cute picture."......


Evan had major attitude this day and sometimes the best way to deal with him is to be extra silly which drives him crazy, hahaha

5 Years Old!


This photo really captures Evan's pure happiness and energy.

And this photo really captures his ATTITUDE!!

A special gift from Grandma & Grandpa Anderson - a ukulele!



Proud of his new instrument :)

A birthday isn't complete without a celebration at Red Robin!

....and "Happy Birthday" sung by the Red Robin crew!

We surprised Evan with tickets to Marvel LIVE where he watched his favorite super heros perform right in front of him!





Tyler sat like this the entire show, clinging to us and covering his ears when he would hear loud noises (which was most of the show!). 




Evan, we love you so much!  Happy 5th birthday!

Love,
Mom & Dad
