We've been celebrating Cole's birthday all week! On Sunday, I made cupcake ice cream cones - and I think they turned out great. Looked super cool with little effort!
On Tuesday, Cole got to have his birthday date with mommy and daddy. We've started a new tradition, parties on the "even" years and a date with mom and dad on the "odd" years. Daddy met us at Pirate Island and had a HUGE balloon for Cole. Luckily I got this photo quick - it was only seconds later that it came untied and floated up into the rafters. They tried to get it down for us - but only managed to pop it! Oh well. Cole was not even phased by it - he was so excited to be in such an amazing place. The staff did bring him a BUNCH of balloons and he was all smiles. He got to be the pirate for the evening, having dinner with us, the crew came and sang Happy Birthday to him, and then lots of arcade games after. It was a very fun date for the three of us. I love our "new" tradition. It isn't common to have 1 on 1 time with both parents.

Five Fabulous Facts about Cole:1) He loves CUCUMBERS! He will eat them like an apple. I just peel it and then he gobbles it up.
2) He is a talker - and says the funniest things!
3) He will talk to strangers ANYWHERE and breaks the ice with his #1 comment, "I love chocolate, do you love chocolate?"
4) He can use up a roll of tape in a heartbeat! He is constantly creating and inventing things with any sized box, paper, markers, and some tape. Luckily, he got 4 rolls of tape for his birthday.
5) He is so polite and loving. I love hearing him say his spontaneous "thanks you's" and "I love you mommy" - and he does it often.
As I hugged him first thing on his birthday, I said, "Please stop growing, I think 5 is enough!" He replied, "But, can't you see that I'm growing?" Yes, I see it Cole. You are growing up and you continue to surprise and amaze me with your way of being you!
I LOVE YOU COLE!
