Taylor's Sixth Birthday

It's hard to believe that our Baby Tay-Tay has grown into a big six-year-old! He doesn't like cake anymore, so we made him this special peppermint ice cream cake. (Good thing he was born in December!)

He had three friends over (plus himself & Aric makes five) for a nice little party. All the boys decorated "mini-pinatas" and enjoyed a few hours of sugared-up playtime.

In the evening, Taylor opened his family gifts. This face occured when he realized Grandma and Grandpa had given him a transformer that was a tank (he'd been asking everyone for a tank and a transformer, so to have them combined was thrilling, apparently).

The afterglow:

We got him Battleship, so this is how he's spent a lot of his time off from school:

Happy Birthday, Buddy!  We love you so much and are so thankful for each year we have gotten to spend with you in our family! We look forward to many more!
