Dawson's 6th Birthday

Dawson had a wonderful 6th birthday. He woke up, had birthday muffins, opened presents, enjoyed a morning at home playing with all of his new things, and then had a birthday party with friends that afternoon. And he was so, so sweet to his little brother on his birthday. Brady desperately wanted it to be his birthday and kept asking where his presents where. Dawson graciously allowed Brady to help him open every single present (and was so sweet about it) and shared everything with him. He is such an amazing 6 year old!

Dawson was so excited when he saw the magic kit. He immediately went over to hug Randy (who really is a magician and plans to teach Dawson some fun magic tricks).

Birthday Party Fun

Dawson's 6th birthday party was a huge success!! He wanted a sports theme this year so we invited some of his closest friends to play games at the park. We started with football toss (through a hula hoop), went on a ball (instead of Easter egg) hunt, gave the kids cans of silly string and had them go on a scavenger hunt to find (and spray) various sports pictures hung throughout the park, enjoyed whacking a baseball pinata, and ended the party with cake and presents. It was an incredible, fun-filled afternoon!

Scooter

The look on Dawson's face when Kaelin wheeled out the Razor scooter she got him for his birthday. He was thrilled!

Dawson with his hand in the air, exclaiming that this was the greatest gift ever and that Kaelin is the greatest friend in the whole world. Such enthusiasm!! I love how excited he gets about things. And how much he appreciates the giver.

Checking out the cool new scooter.

Trying it out. Thanks, Angie and Kaelin!! He loves it!
