My Luke is SIX!

Luke turned six years old on Wednesday. I love how grown up he is becoming. He is the best brother to all his sisters. He loves going to school and reading. He loves to draw, and play with friends. He got two parties this year, the regular party with Grandmas and Grandpas and his first friend party.

He is starting T-ball soon, so we gave him all his equipment.

Luke's favorite gifts were the Legos. Both Grandparents gave him Star Wars Legos, and he was beyond excited.

Bad Mom moment:
I cut the cake up and started handing it out, when my Mom reminded me that we hadn't sung Happy Birthday or had Luke blow out his candles. I can't believe I forgot, but luckily Luke was just too anxious to get back to his new Legos that he didn't even care that there were pieces missing.

His friend party was Star Wars, of course.
Luke's really into Star Wars lately. He loves General Grievous, or any of the other bad guys. Whenever I ask why he doesn't like the good guys, he tells me that they're not as good at fighting.

the kids each made their own lightsaber and then went on a secret Jedi mission to destroy the deathstar. I was trying to make the clues easy enough for the kids, but apparently I made them way too easy, because one of the kids told me so.

We ended with another game, cake, and presents. The party turned out great, but it's going to be a long time before I do another bday party.
We're lucky that Luke has lots of friend that live in our neighborhood, close by. They're always out playing, switching back and forth between yards.
Happy Birthday Luke, I can't love this guy enough!
