Daniel turns 6!

Daniel wanted a Pokemon Cake... this is as close as we could come on short notice.

We got a Mint Chocolate Chip/Chocolate ice cream cake. It wasn't nearly the hit I had thought it would be but it was yummy. We also went swimming as a family. We had a great time, but afterwards I was informed by Daniel that it didn't count because their were no friends. I should have known Mr Social, needed a friends party!

Daniel also got to go to Toys R Us and have his birthday celebrated there as well. The Grandmas and Grandpas had sent some money for him and he got to go and choose his own gifts (which he loved!) He got a balloon and a crown and they announced his name over the intercom. Every worker that we passed told him Happy Birthday, you would have thought he owned the store. He LOVED it!

Officially 6 and looking pretty big!

Helena got a chance in the bounce house too. Daniel is so good at 'helping' her.

A friends party he wants, a friends party he shall have. So on Saturday (April 16) we put up the bounce house and had some friends over for games and cupcakes. Daniel loved it. It was very hot but everyone seemed to have a good time. They could only stay in the bouncer for short periods because they would get so hot. We had Bocce Ball and the swing set in the backyard to keep the groups rotating. 2 hours of birthday madness! But he loved every second, which makes it all worth it!

Daniel enjoying cupcakes.

Coming back for more... he loves the frosting really but every once in a while gets brave and eats the cake part too!

Doesn't he look bigger now?

This was at his party so I can throw it in, Helena is now crawling on hands and knees! Such a big girl!
