Tristan's 6th Birthday!

This year Tristan's birthday was on a Saturday, which is always more fun because we can celebrate all day long. Sandy and Robert joined us for our traditional birthday breakfast in the morning. I love how all the kids get so excited for birthdays, no matter whose it is.Everyone loves the M&Ms Great Grandma Call sends for our M&M dispenser!
All the kids gave sweet little presents they had prepared on their own. Isabelle drew the sweetest picture of the two of them on her card!His main gift was a Graffiti scooter. He was thrilled, and the other kids were very jealous! Luckily Tristan was very good at letting everyone try it out. You hook 3 pieces of sidewalk chalk on the back and there is a pedal to push down when you want to draw while you ride.
Tristan's eyes are a bit sensitive to light, so he was very pleased with a pair of new sunglasses!After our morning festivities, Tristan and Isabelle headed off to a Star Wars birthday party for a friend that is in their church class. Aren't they the cutest Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia ever?

Tristan's heart's desire was to have dinner at a Burger King with a playplace. We were happy to oblige!They have the best time ever chasing each other around these things, and get a great workout in too!At home the Transformer cake was revealed! He wanted a cookie cake this year. Tristan couldn't believe there was a REAL transformer toy on it for him! :) --and everybody wanted a piece with a doughnut hole on it!I really love this little guy! He was SO excited for his first Kindergarten choir concert in December. As I watched him sing his little heart out to us on stage, I felt such intense love for him, and gratitude that we were able to bring him into our family just over 3 years ago. Now (for the next two weeks) we have three 6-year-olds in the family!

What a blessing you are to all of us Tristan! We love the joy and silliness and love you add to our family!
