We have 2 April birthdays in our family….O. and K. K. turns 6 today! He’s been counting the days until his birthday, well, since the end of his last birthday and is soooo happy that today is his day.
He’s picked out a special cereal one of his most favorite foods, selected a white cake with white icing and chocolate ice cream in the middle – for a surprise for everyone! Oh, and a number 6 on the top in berries. Then for dinner – pizza…his other favorite food!
Along with all the cool gifts he got, he is also getting a visit from his 2 cousins and his grandma and grandpa. They drove up yesterday and are spending his birthday here with us! He’s quite excited about this part and thinks its very special. Living far away from family we don’t always get to spend birthdays and such with them. We’ve had a few opportunities to do it though and the kids always relish the birthday moments even more.
Then, next weekend is the big party! He asked for a Lego theme party and has decided to give away small lego kits as favors. We’ve got some cool decorations planned including a homemade pinata! And then, a tasty lego themed cake from our local Sweet Sensations bakery. They’re amazing and make the coolest cakes.
It’s so amazing to think he’s 6 already. The passage of time is quite a thing. It seems like only yesterday it was his birth we were preparing for in the spring in New Mexico. He was born at home with two local midwives, his dad, his bro and our friend in attendance, at 5:07 in the afternoon. A very special day indeed.
Before I know it though – Spirit willing – he’ll be 16….26…..46……
But for today, he’s just 6, and enjoying his special day immensely!
