Happy Birthday, Travis!!!

My son turns 6 today! I can't believe it! I can't wrap my head around how fast the last 6 years have flown by.


We have the day off from school today. Another ice storm... no where near the caliber of the other one. Just enough to be annoying and impede travel. As much as I am not looking forward to being in school until the butt-end of June, it is nice to be home with my boy on his big day. He opened his presents this morning and has spent the day putting together his Lego's with Daddy. We are supposed to go out to eat at Friendly's tonight, but the weather may not allow that to happen. His kids' party and family party are this weekend.

Saturday started off with a kid party. We went to Travis's favorite Pizza place and the kids seemed to have fun. I was a little put-off by the fact that they didn't seem especially organized. But I think the kids were happy. That is all that counts.




On Sunday the family gathered to celebrate with us. It was a smaller party than usual. It seems as though everybody had so much to do. And...wouldn't you know it? More snow!

Chelsea helped mom in the kitchen on the day of the family party. I just have to make sure I add the eggs last so she doesn't get a rash. She was so happy to be there. She kept saying "Happy Birthday to you, Travis!"
Travis loved the crown he got at school.
