Happy 6th Birthday, Stephen!

Today we celebrated Stephen's sixth birthday! It's so much fun seeing the excitement of a child about his/her birthday. Everything today revolved around the fact that it was his birthday, and not only that, but that it was a Pac Man birthday for him!

At Christmas, he fell in love with Pac Man at Aunt Liz and Uncle Joe's house and it has been a dream of his ever since to have a Pac Man birthday. At breakfast we started out with pancakes that he insisted needed to be cut into Pac Man shapes. (Thanks, Daddy, for the finishing touches.)

Then his cake for tonight's celebration was Pac Man as well. Stephen designed the cake and the cupcakes to look like a Pac Man game, and I must say that he was quite successful at it. That was a good thing since I'm not sure I've ever even played Pac Man, so I don't have a clue what's what with all these dots and colors and everything else. We had a great birthday celebration today for Stephen and he's a happy little camper tonight!


We also got to celebrate his birthday along with all the rest of the little boys at Aunt Karen's house last week. We had cake, gifts, toys, and a pinata. How great is that to celebrate your birthday twice in two different countries with two different cakes? How great is it that even if it wasn't your birthday any time soon, you still got to have a birthday party with everyone and say it was for you, too! Happy Birthday to everyone, especially Stephen!
