January 2017- M turns 6!
We threw him his first official "friend" birthday party. We played the candy bar game, made cars out of cardboard boxes, ate pizza, and had cake and ice cream.
My sister (who had a new baby that was only a few weeks old) and her family came up to bring Kehl to the party. They ended up staying to help us make the cardboard cars. Helping that many kids with a project like that was a lot harder than we had thought it would be between just Jake and I! They helped us with cutting colored duct tape for race stripes, putting wheels on the cars (black paper plates), cutting out designs with felt, etc. Her and her husband were life-savers!
All the guests! Along with cousin E on the couch and Miss J behind Kehl.
He got spoiled by his friends. They were all so excited for M to open up their gifts. Sweet boys.
After the guests had left, Nana and Papa came with more cousins, whom they had been babysitting that day. The cousins enjoyed being together!
We love our Mr. M!
