Jimmy's 6th Birthday

Jimmy's birthday fell on a Friday this year and we made sure to make his day as special as possible.  We began the day with our traditional cinnamons rolls with a candle and all of us singing "happy birthday" to the special guy.  As you can see, he was all smiles -- even though it was early in the morning.



Making a wish!



He headed to school with a skip in his step and boxes of cosmic brownies to share with all of his classmates.  We are still not allowed to send in homemade treats but the store-bought and packaged brownies were certainly an easy request.  Spoiler alert: Sophia chose the exact same treat to take into school for her birthday later in the month.

After school, I had the table set with a bunch of gifts from us and he asked to open them immediately.



He ended up with a lot of different things and loved the pizza wrapping paper.



While I wish that time would stand still and I could bottle his personality at this age and keep it forever, I love seeing the little person that he is becoming.



For dinner, we had homemade mac and cheese and hotdogs -- the birthday boy's request.  Then we finished our meal with homemade brownies and more candles!



Later that night, Jimmy tested out his new smelling markers -- a gift from Jack -- and made the nicest picture for his teacher, Mrs. Wilson.  He even wrote both her name and his name on it.
