Evan turns 6!

My baby turned 6 this past weekend! On Friday night we were watching movies and he crawled up in my lap and told me that he was going to miss being 5. I told him I was going to miss him being 5 but that I bet 6 was going to be awesome! We had some scare that the party would be snowed out and I threatened my closest friends that snow or no snow they better put in 4WD and be there! This party was paid for! We ended up lucking out of the big snow but several friends got stomach bugs and didn't make it : (
It was great fun for those that did though! Seriously, I think this was one of his funnest parties yet. I had it at the Tae Kwon Do place he goes to and MAN... they did everything. You know how those - we do all the work - parties usually are. The ones were you are running around ordering pizza and serving and getting more drinks. This was NOTHING like that. They asked Evan what he wanted his party and cake theme to be and of course he said Star Wars. We paid the party fee - which was less than his other parties - and that was it. We showed up and the cake was there - just like Evan had ordered. The instructors played over an hour of fun games with the kids. The adults had to learn some moves too! Kids broke boards and became Tae Kwon Do experts. They moved us into the other room and served us all pizza and drinks and then cake. When the party was over they came to me and asked which car was ours and loaded it with presents, cake and left over pizza. Wow... that was easy! Evan had a great day!
We have gotten quite a bit of snow the past few weeks. Enough of it if you ask me. GO AWAY! Spring come with all your pretty flower and sunshine. We are expected to be dumped on again tonight. Evan wants snow cream so bring it on but, after that please stop.
Enjoy snow and birthday pictures.

GEEZ Louise..6 years old...can you even believe it Sarah??

Hey...does he wear pads for TaeKwonDo? I just found some that we had bought for Chris YEARS ago (never worn...because we moved)...but, I have them if a little ninja could use them!
