Max’s 5th Trip Around the Sun

When I started making video montages for my children’s birthdays, watching how much they grew in one year was amazing. Now the changes are more subtle, but it’s a tradition they look forward to every year.

What’s my song this year, Mommy?

Can I see my video yet?

I always play them at our parties right before we sing Happy Birthday and eat cake. It brings the crowd together. This year was cute with Max’s friends laughing at funny pictures of him in his underpants and with flowers behind his ears. It might not be as dramatic to you, but as his mother, I see the changes from four to five so clearly.

Enjoy the snapshots; we’re already off on our sixth trip around the sun. What an adventure that will be!
