5 years old!!

Hudson turned 5 this weekend! It blows my mind to know that he has been mine for the past 5 years.

There certainly wasn't any lack of birthday partying this year! We started out with a fun trip to the cabin...

We did a lot of cake eating...and some bow & arrow making...
A few campfires and a few smores....

Lots of new 5-year-old muscles to show off...
An awesome birthday-eve campout..
And a little birthday spoiling, of course.

Then, we came home from the cabin just in time for a BBQ with the other side of the family. Nana had the yard all decked out and all of his favorite people were there!

He told me that it was
"The best birthday of his life!!"

Marq and Melody were asking him all about turning 5. He told them how awesome it was. He thought it was pretty sweet that he was 4 one day and 5 the next. When they asked him if he felt different now he said, "Yeah, waaay different." They asked him what felt so different and he said, "Well, my underwear are super tight today."
