Tristan's 5th Birthday Party

We celebrated Tristan's 5th birthday with some of his friends from preschool today.  He decided that he wanted to have a party at the bowling alley, so that's what we did.  This is the first party that we've had for either child that wasn't at our house.  But the fact that I'm due to give birth to our third child at any time, I figured that the extra stress of coming up with food and activities, and getting the house ready, wasn't really worth it. 

You know you're in Asia when...

We did a cowboy theme this year.

He really wanted Woody, but finding things with just Woody on it was difficult, so we compromised, and settled on cowboy stuff.

After all, Tristan is known for wearing his boots and his hat everywhere.

The bowling alley at Osan Air Base has a really cool kid-friendly area with lightweight balls and shorter lanes.  Not to mention the jungle play area situated right behind the lanes.

After bowling, the kids sat down to some hot dogs and french fries.

And then it was time for presents.  Legos were the gifts of the day - perfect for him as he is really getting into building with his Legos these days.

A bucket o' animals from his sister

And to go with the theme of the day, a Woody's Roundup Lego set from Mommy and Daddy

"Happy Birthday to you..."

Did you know it is impossible to get 9 kids to look at the camera at the same time?

Well, it is.

And then it was time to come home and rest... or put Legos together...

We had a great time today and Tristan was so happy to have his friends with him to help him celebrate.  It's hard to believe that our baby boy is going to be 5 years old in 5 days... Where did the time go?
