opening gifts from family at home

Simon thrilled that he got the Millennium Falcon which he has asked for for over a year. Sarah showing off her change from Grandma and Grandpa for her piggy bank.

We spent the weekend surrounded by family and friends to celebrate Simon's 6th birthday. Friday, my parents, Melissa, Shane, and the twins Andrew and Nathan came in from out of town to spend the weekend with us.

Saturday we had Simon's birthday party at the Explorium. This was the first time we have had a party away from home and wow, it was so much easier.

Today, which was his actual birthday was a quite day at home and a quick trip to the pool.

Thanks to all who joined us to celebrate!

Simon's picture day!

Simon's sixth birthday is Sunday so we went today to get his annual pictures.

Star Wars day

Chewbacca from a distance.

This past Saturday was Star Wars day at Joseph-Beth Booksellers. This is our local bookstore that puts any Barnes and Noble to shame. I could not believe the crowd of people to meet the Star Wars characters. You would have thought it was a Harry Potter release.

Simon was a tired of the crowd by the time it was his time to take pictures with the storm troopers. Sarah was happy to see the characters as long as they were a far distance from her.
