Peter had a birthday!

Peter had a birthday about 10 days ago....I'm a little slow with the posting...my baby has turned a whooping six years old! It seems like yesterday that Anth and I were desperately looking at each other to figure out how to make the baby stop crying...poor kid...the oldest has it the toughest...green parents that need breaking in can be hard work! 

We had a small birthday party with my family to celebrate since one of my brother's birthdays is close to Peter's. We usually combine them.

I made hats for everyone that wanted one since we weren't having a "friend" party this year! It is so much easier to tie balloons when you aren't 6 months pregnant!!!

Julia even got to wear a hat! 

The Cake!

We got a new gate for our kitchen since Matthew figured out how to climb the board and knocked the others! Poor kid..life is so hard when you are almost 2 and curious about everything!

New birthday tradition....doughnuts for breakfast!!! The boys were super excited and it made Peter feel special! 

This kid cracks me up!!!

I must be getting old because these just didn't taste the way that I remembered...anyone else think they have a plastic taste...guess I'll have to stick with Crispy Creams!

The official birthday cake!!! Peter was a little nervous when I called it a dirt cake but "wormed" up when I told about the gummy worms and bugs!

The haul...the monster puppet things...a great investment...they are kind of like Mr. Potato Head but with felt pieces that Velcro on to the felt puppet! (*If I could sew...I would make some more ...sigh..oh well..)

This is a "What was I thinking?" kind of present...but he loves it...as well as everyone else in the house...pity that it got lost with the by the second day!

Happy Birthday, Peter! I love you so much! Thanks for breaking us in and being patient with us!
