Max's 5th birthday

Max turned 5, and picked a lego ninjago party for his special celebration.  Now, these parties require a bit of work despite being mostly family parties.  However, I find it so special to spend time and energy focusing on just one kid on his/her birthday.  The birthday child gets to pick the meals for the day and the theme of their party.  It is so heartwarming to see the other kids pitch-in to help get all the decorating done.  We all enjoyed staying up late to decorate the house for Max.
