Can He Really Be 6 Already?

Everyone always told us to enjoy these years with our kids because they really fly by ... well, they are right. How did this little guy we brought home from the hospital get to be six years old? What an adventure we have had with him especially when you throw two little sisters into the mix. One of the greatest adventures has been this year in Croatia. How many kids from Montana can say they spent their sixth birthday in Croatia? We all had a great time celebrating his birthday, today! It started with the kids waking up to a Christmas tree that Kristi and I put up while they were sleeping and ended with a big party with some of our friends and teammates. Dinousars seemed to rule the party as they came in the form of books, figurines, puzzles, and even made their way into the cake! That's right, Kristi whipped up a fire breathing dragon cake that brought ear to ear smiles to the kids faces. The fire part was my idea!Sweet cake and even sweeter friends!

How many six year olds do you know who crave squid?
