For his big day, we had two celebrations.The first was a karate party with his school friends, where he got to cut the cake with a sword--you couldn't ask for anything more Deacon than that.

The next day, his actual birthday, he got to pick what we did, so he chose the aquarium in Baltimore. We had a great time there, and then came home for cake and presents.

Overall, it was a fantastic birthday. I can't believe he's 5 already. Seems like just yesterday, he was the same size as Jasper.
