Happy 6th Birthday, Stephen!

We started the day with cinnamon rolls and bacon for breakfast and opening family gifts.

I had a lot of cleaning and prep to get ready for his party in the evening so he played with his sisters and his new toys very happily in the morning. We made a quick trip to the park just to get everyone some fresh air and exercise. Then we took him to Panda Express (in efforts to keep the house clean!) for lunch. He was really happy about that since he always wants to eat there, and we rarely do!
He got to skip rest time of course and played all afternoon right up until party time. He chose a Mario Galaxy themed party. Thankfully I made and decorated the cake Sunday afternoon because it ended up being harder than I estimated!

The Cake

He was very happy with it and helped me place the figures.


We played pin the mustache on Mario ( You can see the hanging question block in the background. We put coins and candy on top so they could bop it like Mario does and get a reward).



And Hot Planet

Happy Birthday!
And finally the gifts



We are so thankful that our sweet friends could join us to celebrate Stephen's life at such a busy time! I think everyone had a lot of fun, especially Stephen.
We are so thankful for this boy. He is such a sweet, thoughtful guy. When I asked him what dessert he wanted us to have after dinner Sunday evening (a little pre-celebration), he said, "Hmmm....what do you think Daddy would like?" So sweet!
