Ian turns six!

The birthday invitation I stamped

Getting ready to cut the cake

THE cake made by Ian's Mimi...basketball in the hoop with the fans watching from bleachers!


We had some family members stay with us for the weekend to help us celebrate and even attended soccer practice Saturday morning. The team sang Happy Birthday to Ian and he was loving it!

Another successful birthday party! For the fifth year in a row, we had his party at Davis Drive Park in Cary. It's just such a perfect location for his birthday party with the shelter, the park, the soccer fields and the basketball court. He had quite a lot of people who attended. Cailean's parents drove up from Florida. His godmother and my cousin, Jessica came up from South Carolina with her husband and 2 kids. My mom and grandparents were there. Then, some friends from Kingswood and their siblings. Some friends from soccer and their siblings. Some friends from pre-school and Sunday School attended as well as some family friends.

Mom came through with the cake. Ian and I found a picture similar to it online and sent it to her, so she could work her magic! :) Well, we were impressed once again! It's always a highlight to see what she comes up with to go along with Ian's theme.


We had a pinata, too! It took awhile for it to break. I think we gave each kid two chances and then had my grandfather up there who tried three times before Cailean's coworker, Mel, finally was the one to let the candy fall out!


Everyone left by 5pm except for family. Cailean and I ordered some pizzas from Dominos and stayed another 1 1/2 hours at the park. Just perfect weather!!!!

The boys were a bit sad this morning when we had to say goodbye to Jessica, Kent, Kaia and Lucas. I just love watching the kids play together. We'll be heading down their way in a few weeks to celebrate Lucas' first birthday and Kaia's third! :)
