Advent Day 15

Celebrate Ian's 6th Birthday

Today our advent activity was so fun and emotional for me because we celebrated Ian turning 6.  We spent our day with lots of family time, opening gifts, and of course, eating cake.  

Yesterday we celebrated Ian a day early with a friends' party.  He invited eight of his close friends from school to Jam Hops.  Jam Hops is an indoor gymnastics/ninja warrior facility located right by us.  The kids spent two hours jumping, doing ninja obstacles, nerf wars, etc.  We also ate pizza and cake, as well as opened lots of gifts.  Ian said that was just the best birthday ever.  

Ian Turns 6 Years Old

Today our baby boy turned 6!  Every year it is so hard watching him get older as I still think of (and probably treat) him as two.  He brings me (and most of the time just me) so much joy, yet everyone still loves him unconditionally, and joyfully love celebrating him!

Ian's smile is contagious.  His excitement for things is beyond describable.  He still has many same loves as last year including crafts (smelly markers), Legacy colors, sorting, puzzles, organizing, school, and Hatchimals!

Happy 6th Birthday, Ian!

We love you so much.

Madeline's First Day of Preschool

Today was officially Madeline's first day as a Legacy Lion and she couldn't be more excited!  Her teacher is Mrs. Anderson and I couldn't be more excited, love having friends as my kiddos' teachers.  She knew exactly where to go and what to do.  If the year continues to go as good as her stories and smile were at pick up, then it's going to be a great year!
