McKinley's Birthday!!!

McKinley's 5th Birthday Party

He's not quite five, but he's celebrated a LOT the past four days!

Today was his swimming party at the YMCA.  He told me "it was exactly what I wanted!"

 The kids and I decorated his cake this morning.  It was certainly a group effort with lots of baths for the scuba divers since the kids kept playing with them and I wanted them to be clean before putting them on the cake.  It turned out cute.  Mac's tradition is to always have a "mountain" as part of his cake.  So here's his underwater mountain.

 Swimming at the YMCA.  We did the slide 100 times.  It's fun for the kids because they can go down the slide on our laps.

 Opening presents.

 Blowing out the candles.  Thankfully, the YMCA had a bag of candles - I forgot to bring some!

 Happy Birthday McKinley!
