On April 6th, Vance, our youngest son, turned 6. I can't believe my "baby" is 6! His birthday fell on Good Friday, so Dave had the day off. It is my tradition to allow the birthday child to pick what will be served at all three meals of the day, so we started with Vance's requested breakfast of French Toast, bacon, and homemade hash browns. He then opened his presents. We got him various art supplies, a new pair of Vans (as a treat for learning to tie his own shoes), and a full face bicycle helmet. You heard me. I refuse to allow any more of that cuteness to be destroyed by pavement! And we need to keep the rest of his teeth until they actually fall out naturally. He is in love with that helmet!
Moving on to lunch, the kids enjoyed their own "Lunchables", those gross pre-packaged fun foods that I NEVER buy them, except on occasions such as these. We were then off to Karen's house for an awesome pot roast dinner and the Good Friday service at church.
The next day, we met our friends, the Berggrens, at the park across the street for bike riding and playing, followed by the meal Vance requested for dinner: Hamburgers and corn on the cob. We made some chocolate cupcakes topped with green "grass" and a marshmallow peep. They were so cute, and Vance loved them. And Vance got to test out his new helmet. And wouldn't you know it, he didn't fall at all. Now that we have it, he probably never will. Go figure. Well, two birthdays down for 2007, and one to go. Tune in late June for Austin's celebration.
