our Kindergartner turns SIX!

new set of wheels for the birthday boy!
opening presents...
in addition to the bike, we gave him 2 books and a game. opening the game last, he said, "Whew! For a moment there I thought all you were going to give me were books!" (And yet, when asked what his favorite gifts were, his reply was the BOOKS!)

Junie B. Jones - I love these as much as the kids do!
"Dinosaur" movie from Grandma Dixie & Grandpa John
-----------
family party birthday cake - my own creation: Key Lime Bundt with Lime Glaze, served with Lime Sorbet. Yummy, but SUPER rich!
-------
soooo fun to get packages in the mail from Grandma & Grandpa K.!
He loved his "Knights of Right" books (#2 & 3). For early readers, we'd highly recommend these simple chapter books!
a check!!!!!!!!!

Party @ Bountiful Bowl
(Totally recommend it - easiest bday party I ever threw!)
you can't see the cake very well here but it was from Dick's Market and they did such a cute job. They had the bowling ball "knocking" down the pins.
Unfortunately, we'd already taken the decorations off the cake by the time we took this.

---------------
the kids had bowl crazy ways, like backwards, walking a tightrope, spinning in circles, singing a song as they throw the ball, predicting which pins will fall, etc.

Such a cute boy! The party was a hit...Sage had a blast. I may have to do a bowling party.

I love the post about the 'olden days'. It's funny to hear kids talk about stuff from when I was a kid.
