Today we had a birthday party for Blake's 5th birthday which is on September 30th. We have been calling him our lil monkey lately since he is so energetic and climbs on everything. We used that as the inspiration for his party. This is the first year we have made our cake. Usually we just buy them from the bakery since that is a lot less stressful, but we got brave this year (and saved some money too!).
Blake was really concentrating on his monkey.
They kinda look alike!
Madison added earrings to her monkey.
For some reason Brady's monkey was sad.
We were happy with how they turned out!
One more candle to go....
Blake with his cousins and buddies Dalton and Dawson!
Madison was a great big sister and read his cards to him.
This was a fun puzzle to put together!
This smiles sums up the day!

You sure do have 3 special birthdays to celebrate end of Sept/early Oct!! ENJOY the upcoming celebrations for Brady and Madison, too! And of course, all of them are during Justin's harvest. Hmmmm, when will the 6th Overstreet's birthday be?? Time soon will tell....
Sorry I'm soooo late. Just starting to catch up and have a long way to go. Happy Belated birthday, Blake!
I love the idea of the cupcakes -- hmmm, can I "borrow" your idea? :)
Looking forward to keeping an eye on ALL the Overstreet's and your journey to add another!
Hugs,
