Griff's Sixth!

My first born is six years old now. Crazy. Six sounds old. And that makes me feel kinda old. But also pretty lucky. I've got a very sweet six year old on my hands who still likes hugs and kisses from his mom. 

Here's the birthday boy and his dinosaur themed cake. (I caught the little ones all in the garage helping themselves to the icing that morning - so there was a lot of green missing and a few holes.Geesh!) 

He had a few friends over for the afternoon and I made the wise decision to send the little ones to my parents for their naps (thanks mom and dad)! I was beginning to think birthdays were the opposite of fun - and I was a big fan of birthdays previously.  This one reminded me why they're great. Griff and I decorated together and setup the Dino themed games... All without rushing, without chaos, just enjoying spending his special day together (Troy had to work). His party went smoothly... And we had family over for supper to finish the day off. That was also a cinch since griff built a new Lego set while I prepped dinner (and waited for the pizza to arrive hehe). It was just so great and I have such a huge appreciation for those little moments where all my focus can be on him... Just like those first few years of his oh so special life. 

Love you Griff. Xoxoxo
