On June 20th, Cole turned 6 years old! He started his birthday morning with friends at Cherry Hills' VBS, and then Curt and I surprised him with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese's for lunch and games with his brothers.
 |
| Determined to win! |
 |
| Kieran loves the soccer game. |
 |
| Playing the pirate game, of course! Caden and Cole insist on spending tons of tokens on this game, which takes forever to beat, but they feel so good when they are successful. |
 |
| Intense air hockey match |
After Chuck E. Cheese's, we came home to open presents.
 |
| We surprised Cole with a Nintendo DSi XL. |
After opening his presents, Curt sent Cole upstairs to make sure the lights were off in his room. He took a quick look and ran back downstairs, so he could play his DS. Curt made him return to check his closet light, and we heard him giggle when he noticed this HUGE Iron Man fathead on his wall. While Cole was at VBS, Curt and I took down his vehicle art and replaced it with superhero art and several smaller fatheads in addition to the Iron Man.
 |
| Not easy to put up, but so worth it! |
Cole requested only Legos for his birthday, so we gave him the new Lego Batman 2 DS game.

Kieran does not like to be left out. He joined in the fun on the inflatables without hesitation.
Having fun in the inflatables room!

Post-party involved opening gifts from Grammy, Grandpa, Aunt Mariah, and Uncle Jason.

Hard to believe six years have gone by! Our world is a little wilder and a lot better with Cole in it. Love him so!
