~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~
This week’s photos for {pretty, happy, funny, real} are from Andrew’s 5th birthday. I will be lump them together as one big {p,h,f,r} category.
{pretty} {happy} {funny} & {real}
I remember the excitement as a kid to wake up in the morning and find the table decorated for your birthday. We’ve passed on the tradition to my family adding the kids’ favorite stuffed animals on the table. For Andrew’s Octonauts/ Kwazii (the cat character) /Pirate birthday theme, we had all his favorites pirated out.
We then headed to Point Lobos for a picnic and hiking. (If you are ever in the Monterey, CA be sure to stop there!)
Enjoying lunch.
Matthew was happy to get out of the stroller and run around.
We finally got the kids to sit down at one spot although JP is about to take off and the boys are keeping an eye on a bird they were trying to catch.
My heart melted to see the three of them walking hand-in-hand chatting away.
Afterwards, the kids made and decorated cupcakes. Andrew is ready to eat his creation.
I’m not sure if John-Paul is fascinated by the flame on the candle or the fact that he will soon be eating a cupcake too!
