Happy 5th Birthday, Lincoln

Sunday was a day of celebration of Lincoln's actual 5th birthday.  He was so excited!  Anytime we told him Happy Birthday, he responded with the sweetest thanks.  The weather was perfect so we spent a lot of time outside.  He had T-Ball practice and worked hard on his skills.  The boys played outside for a few hours in the afternoon and had so much fun.
We got cleaned up and cooked a delicious birthday dinner for Lincoln.  What other kid requests grilled pork chops, roasted potatoes, and steamed broccoli?!?!  He squealed with delight that his birthday dinner could be a picnic outside! 
Nana and Pops joined for our picnic, and everyone had a great dinner.   
After we cleaned our plates, Lincoln got to blow out his candle of his special cake.  He was so proud of the cake he picked out!  He's keeping his wish a secret, of course! 
Chocolate cake with chocolate icing is a favorite at our house, and Beau never misses a chance to savor each bite.  He was a chocolatey mess but so cute while eating his piece of cake. 
This 5 year old melts my heart with his sweetness!  His joy is always contagious, and he lights up every single moment. 
Beau gently and excitedly helped Lincoln open his family presents then they got down to business playing with Lincoln's new stuff.  Minion Operation was an early favorite! 
Lincoln had a great birthday!  He's such a wonderful big brother and the most amazing first born son.  He always looks out for Beau, always tells his Mommy that she is so beautiful, loves school and his teachers so much, plans so many new crafts to try, remembers to say his prayers each night, and has the best imagination ever.  He constantly surprises us with how smart and silly he can be, and his new dance moves have us laughing all night long.  There is no one else like Lincoln Kevin Kuhlman, and we are just glad to be his family.  Happy Birthday, Lincoln!
