Jude's 6th Birthday

Jude's birthday was on Friday and I purposed this year (since he's been talking about his birthday for about 6 months) to make this day (and, as it turns out, the day after) a special one for him. We did meals that he chose and his party was at the bowling alley, also of his choosing. I took a ton of pictures, since I feel I'm falling horribly behind in documenting my kids' childhoods.

Here is Boss at the bowling alley. He had loads of fun!

Jude got this too-small (just like he likes it) vest and donned it all day long. Paired with his stained and tattered and tucked in white t-shirt, of course.

Here was the breakfast he chose - waffles with jam and whipped cream on top.

Here I believe everyone is singing to him.

This celebration was at the Wagners house - the place we have Bible study every Friday. He requested an Oreo cheesecake for that. This was the first time I made it and it turned out! I always get scared of cheesecakes for some reason.

Star Wars and Legos are what Jude is into right now. He actually is pretty obsessed with Legos. He wakes up talking about them, and when he's not building them throughout the day, he's telling a story about them. He told me a few days ago, "I have Lego ideas swirling around in my head!" I'm wondering if his career will be with designing and building things...
