Back on November 12th, Jude woke up 5! He woke up to a decorated door and 5's all over the house. We had donuts and candles and sang happy birthday! Hard to believe he is already this big...a whole hand!
As part of our tradition, Jude got to choose a gift to open first thing in the morning....a new backpack! All of the boys were so excited to have a day of celebration.
I got the special treat of spending a couple hours with Jude at school that morning. He was recognized during chapel and shared birthday treats with his class. Jonah was in heaven joining in on everything too.
That evening, we had a family get together with his favorite meal, spaghetti and meatballs! And cupcakes, of course.
The celebration continued into the weekend. Jude and I had a special date night at the theater...just the two of us. We went to see The Christmas Carol musical and then out for frozen yogurt afterwards. Love my special time with him. He was sure to pick out a special outfit saying he wanted to "look handsome" for Mommy. Sweetest little Dude.

And finally, Sunday was his party day. Many friends and classmates joined us at the Junior Museum to celebrate our big 5 year old, dinosaur style. He loved it from beginning to end. And Mommy loved how easy the party was. Such a great venue!
Happy birthday, Jude Dude!
This sweet boy has a pizzaz for life and is full of spunk. All that know him, know he has a super silly side. And even though he is easily frustrated at times, he shows so much love and compassion for others. He adores big brother, Eli and wants to do everything just like him. He is a sweet big brother to both Jonah and Theo. Jude is wicked smart and is getting smarter every day. He loves to read and "do math." He is developing the sweetest heart and a passion for his Savior, Jesus Christ. We are so lucky to be his parents. God truly blessed our family with this kid.
Jude, we love you to the moon and back!
