SIX!

Today my boy turns SIX!!! He is getting to be so old and so big! We did some big time celebrating over the weekend! First, we had a big LEGO party at the Lego store here! Super fun with 13 boys and tons of Legos! You can't have a Lego party there until you are 6 so we have been waiting a while to finally have it here! Paxton LOVES Legos and we love them too! He is quite good at them and can put those huge sets together with 800+ pieces together in no time.

Paxton had all the boys from his class come plus his two older boy cousins. The boys got to build their own Star Wars Lego man and then the party director took them to a table and dumped out about a billion Legos for them to create things and build. The boys had lots of fun building all kinds of Star Wars creations! It's amazing how long those six year old boys could attune to that one task. After building each boy got to fill a box of any kind of bricks (Lego pieces) that he wanted as his take home treat. Plus they each got their Lego man and a Lego magazine.

After a fun filled Lego hour or so we headed down to the food court for some pizza and Star Wars cake. The boys got a little wild after eating but I think it was a good wind down from a long week at school. Paxton took home his presents to open and was loving it all!

Let's all YELL "Happy Birthday Paxton" so the whole mall can here!

Grandmama and Grandaddy stopped by the party and helped us out a lot with transporting things!

Ok, now how CUTE are these two sweeties? Lorelei and Maren, two peas in a pod!

Don't you love the little hand in the background, ready to dig in!

Back at home ready to dive into the presents!

Oh how I wish I had his initial expression when he opened this gift. His very very favorite gift from Grandmama and Grandaddy, a Chess Set! Paxton loves Chess right now, talks about it constantly, wants to play it on the computer constantly and now, his very OWN set. This is a picture of true happiness!

Quite a stack!

He has even begun teaching Lorelei how to play, next on his list to teach, his Mama!

So Sunday afternoon we had a family party. It was supposed to be at our house but unfortunately the air decided to go out just before the party so we took our sweaty selves up to Grandmama and Grandaddy's house for his party. We have such a large extended family it's hard to really celebrate with all the friends around (I have tried that in the past and it doesn't work too well!).

Showing off his Tinker Toys creation that he had made earlier that week.
