Happy 6th Birthday Luke

See this super cute face with a super cute birthday hat--he turned 6 last week.

He has been very excited for his birthday.  He has been very specific in what he wanted too for his presents and for his food.  He sure knows what he wants--which is good, most of the time! :)

We celebrated a little early with Aunt Emily and we let him open half his presents plus his card from her.  He loves $ and was so excited to get some from her!

I have started giving them their books from the year before to them for their birthdays. Only way I can remember to get them done.

The day before his birthday he really wanted to help me make his cake--which means he just really wants to lick the beaters :).

 Then the next day, with strict instructions on what to make for breakfast (breakfast burritos), lunch (Costco with his friend Chase--they split a hot dog and a piece of pizza and were quite silly in the process), 

and dinner (boughten chicken nuggets from Costco, homemade fries, and carrot sticks) we decorated his cake (which he was also quite specific on--which I admit I don't mind because it makes it so much easier for me)

 and had our neighbors over for some cake and ice cream.

He said he had the best day ever.  I love to hear that! Afterwards this is what he did the whole time:

build legos.

Luke here are 6 things we love about you!

1. Your independence.  You know what you want in life and are not afraid to go after it.

2. Your love to for your brother and sisters.  You think they are great and I love to see how much you love to be with them.

3. You love to read.  Everyday you get excited to do your homework mostly because you get to read a book to me.

4. Your love of knowledge.  You love to ask questions and figure out what is happening and you are not satisfied until you understand it completely.

5. Your love of building.  Wow can you make some pretty cool legos.  Definitely take after Seth that way and it's pretty amazing.

6. The way you say forgot which no matter how much we tell you comes out "freegot".  It's so cute!

Luke we are so happy to have you in our family!
