This guy.
He went and turned twelve. Just like that. Didn’t ask my permission. Didn’t give me a warning.
Somehow went from two years old to twelve while I went to warm up my coffee.
Just had to throw in that above pic. He’s just so photogenic. Except up there.
When they were toddlers, everyone thought 5 of 8 and 6 of 8 were twins.
They actually do look more twin-like than my actual twins. Who do not look twin-like at all.
A-hem. More photogenic, perfectly posed children….
5 of 8 wanted his mama’s fried chicken for dinner, so I obliged. Several chickens were harmed in the making of the birthday dinner. I just want to be honest about that…
As I’ve written before about big family birthday parties, we do tend to keep things pretty simple. A big meal, some cake and ice cream overindulgence, a couple of presents…
And a lot of love.
Happy birthday 5 of 8.
LOVED this post! "Somehow went from two years old to twelve while I went to warm up my coffee." Ha ha! Isn't that the truth?! He is so handsome and looks so grown-up now!
I have four children ages six and under (and one angel), and when I see how quickly your "littles" are growing up, I think I'd better not blink!
I've followed you since the actual twins were very small, and I've missed your daily posts this year! But it's so nice to see your whole family enjoying the birthday celebration.
Don't know how you do it all! You are an amazing family!
