Six?!! He can't be!

It doesn't seem possible!  How can he be SIX!?! We are phasing into "friend's" birthday parties.  Also, my first year I didn't make him a cake!  The joys of inviting all of Carsen's classmates has brought birthday parties to an all new level!  Just over all fun and letting go of some of the small details that just-dont-matter anymore.  Simple, fun and RETRO!








My attempt at bowling pins filled with candy…these suckers used two bags of jelly beans.  I don't take any responsibility for the way the kids acted after they ate two bags worth! :)



All I wanted to have was balloons everywhere.  That is what Carsen would want!  So, he got balloons...










School was called off due to a storm…but Carsen had the best group of kids that made it anyway!


I walked Carsen into his party room and before we walked in, I made sure to explain to him that this was HIS party and that I did this all for him.  That he is a special little boy with friends coming to celebrate HIM!  When he turned the corner, he took off walking.  ALL BY HIMSELF!! 






My dad was such a great help on getting him around so that I could do other things!


















Such an awesome grandpa!!!





Hold steady...


I got this, its a piece of cake!


Who needs chairs...



Carsen's buddy Cale, such a sweet kid!!


And one of his favorite girls…Addison!  


The kids just loved bowling!!!!





























Best buds...


And he's off...


Hold on Carsen!



These two girls are such great friends to Carsen.  A mothers extra little blessing are sweet kids like these.  All the little things they do to help Carsen!











Little brother shows up...


A group picture is a must…and look…Carsen is standing on his own!!





Balloons were a must for this reason…That smile…he LOVES hitting them!


Present opening is interesting…all the kids loved having him open THEIR gift!


















His gifts included nice notes, homemade books, balls, cars, twizzlers, trucks and markers!




Such a great party.  So much to celebrate.  Turning six sure was a breeze, especially since he started doing so much! This is a special year for him!  I couldn't be more proud and so happy that Carsen could have a party with his friends there! Nothing makes me happier than to see him belong!
