Kids, they grow up so fast. Life seems like it is in the fast lane when it comes to kids. 

As a family, we do not do a big celebration every year. Instead, we choose to celebrate every couple of years or for milestone birthdays. In between are quieter celebrations at home with a dinner and some cake and gifts.

This year was one of the years we did host a party. It also turned into a nice get together with friends one last time before summer officially ended.
