max's 5th birthday party... chaos in the pool!

can't you feel the love?!

shake those maraccas!

the 'family & friends party' birthday cake!

big buddah baby sitting up.

aaron had to wake max at 6am on max's actual birthday (unheard of!) so that we could open presents before aaron left for work at 630am. max was stoked with the 'cars' race track, and he and aaron set it up and played a few rounds before aaron headed to the office ;)

i am not sure who gave max this birthday present (shaving foam, razor, etc) but it is a hit! so cute!

small scale cake for max's actual 5th birthday... yum! note new ben10 pjs!

although he looks very worse for wear, i am pretty certain it's just 'tiredness'. max on his actualy birthday, after a very full-on day of swimming, and playing, and opening presents, and eating cake... and more playing!

max and aaron, on max's birthday... testing the new water squirters!
