Seth & Noah are 6!

My babies are 6!  How did that go by so quickly?  The day of their birthday, they had a fun-filled day at school.  Both got to wear crowns and their classes sang Happy Birthday to them.  I sent cake balls to school as a special treat (Seth kept calling them big balls).

After school, we let the boys choose where they wanted to eat dinner and luckily for us, they chose Outback.  They don't sing there, but Seth & Noah did get a special sundae.

The guy behind us doesn't look enthused.

After dinner, we came home and let the boys open a couple of gifts from us.

We had a packed weekend celebrating Seth and Noah's birthday.  Grandma, Grandpa, Papa and Judy all came into town to stay with us and spoil the boys rotten.

Saturday morning, Seth tested for his yellow-stripe belt in taekwondo.  He did a great job!  We find out tonight whether or not he passed.  I'm pretty sure he did...  He answered all of the questions clearly and loudly.  He did the first 8 moves of form 1 exactly right!

He was so proud of himself!  Rightfully so.

After belt testing, the group went to Craig's Cruisers for some lunch and games.  We gave the boys a choice for their birthday - they could have friends over for a party at our house or they could go to Craig's Cruisers with us, Papa, Judy, Grandma and Grandpa.  Of course they chose Craig's Cruisers!  We decided not to lug the big camera in so that we could just focus on playing, so the pictures are from our phones.  Not the best, but it was worth it!

Noah and Daddy

They LOVE to ride the go-karts. Daddy had Noah as a co-pilot.

Seth rode with me!

Of course we had to ride the go-karts twice!  The second time, Noah helped Papa drive.

This is super blurry of Chris and Seth, but his little expression and thumbs up cracks me up.

I was surprised at how well they maneuvered the bumper cars!

After Craig's Cruisers we came home and had a little party for the boys.  Star Wars theme, of course!

We had to get everyone to stop playing with the party favors so we could actually cut the cake and eat it!

EVERYBODY was playing!

Silly kids...

We sang Happy Birthday to Seth first this year.

Noah

I couldn't resist the giant balloon.

More gifts!  Grandma, Grandpa, Papa and Judy picked out some very cool stuff for the boys.  The boys couldn't wait to put on their new Packers sweatshirts from Grandma and Grandpa.

The first thing Noah said the morning of his birthday was 'Where's my skateboard?'.  It was also the first thing he asked Papa and Judy when he saw them.  Luckily for him, Papa and Judy had been paying attention when Noah talked to them about a skateboard for the past 2 months.

Jan was going to take a of the 4 of us sitting on the floor and it reminded me of a picture we took several years ago.  We decided to recreate it!

Here we are with our 6 year olds.  They are gigantic!

I still can't believe they are 6.  I am so blessed to be their mommy.  They are tremendous.  So smart, funny and full of personality!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
