Anthony's Five

On Tuesday my little boy turned five years old and boy was he excited to turn five. We started off the day with baking the cake then we called his friend Amelia whose birthday is also the same day to wish her a Happy Birthday and they invited us to go to the Amazing Pizza Machine for lunch. So we went there where Matt met up with us he decided to take a half day to come join us for some fun. Then after we left the Pizza Machine we went to the Wildlife Safari were we had a nice time.
