Happy 6th Birthday, Elijah!

I'm a little late getting this posted, but... Our sweet and silly big boy turned 6 last Saturday!

We sent birthday treats to daycare last Friday. Can you see how this is starting out - it was very much a super-hero birthday!

Saturday we went out for donuts for breakfast. I had Elijah wear his crown from daycare the previous day, and he loved the "Happy Birthday" comments he got when we were there.

Then, at Elijah's request, we went to feed our stale bread to the ducks at a local park, as we have done several times this summer. Elijah LOVES to just watch and study the ducks when we're done feeding them!

It was an overcast day, and not very hot, so we were unsure about our plans for the afternoon, which was to take the kids to the local aquatic center. We weren't sure if they were even going to open because of the temps, but they did, so we decided to brave it. We had fun for a couple hours before the shivers overtook us, and we headed back home to warm up with our cupcakes! ;)

Then Elijah got to open his presents from us. Batman and the Joker were hits, but the favorite was definitely the motorcycle!

Sunday we had plans with some friends, so we waited until tonight to do a little family party. Jock's mom, grandma, brother and 2 boys, aunt and uncle came over for cake and ice cream. Yes, more super-heros, and a yummy ice cream cake from DQ! :)
