Wrapping up School and Another Birthday

 A couple weeks ago, Mason's class had a party to celebrate all that they have accomplished this year.  He got to share his "leadership notebook" with Julianne and me, and we had treats together.  It was really fun to see all they had done and for him to show us special things in his classroom.  He's really going to miss his class this summer.


 I have mixed emotions about school being done.  While I'm looking forward to foregoing the morning battle, the day-long battles that ensue may not be a great replacement.  Hopefully the kids remember how to get along within the first couple days or it is going to be a VERY long summer....

Next, we had Jon's birthday.  His parents stuck around to celebrate with us and it was so fun!  Two cakes we got to share and this one was rather tasty as well (if I do say so myself).  It was a carrot cake of Jon's choosing.  Topped with cream cheese frosting and pecans.  Yum.  Yum..

We put away the trick candles for this one, but Jon took his sweet time thinking of a wish; much to the kids' dismay.  They were asking why he hadn't blown out the candles yet!!  He took the day off from work and spent the day with his dad refinishing a bed for Mason.  Although it wasn't the most relaxing of birthdays, he enjoyed all the time they were able to spend together.  What a great visit we had.  We can't wait to see everyone in a couple months!!
