Erik's birthday was a little longer this year than most typical birthdays. He had opened a present before Dady left for his trip to Louisiana. But, on his actual birthday Papa and Grandma Grimstead along with Jennica and Chandler came over to celebrate with us. We also had a party for him with his friends on the Saturday following his birthday. Then after Daddy returned from Louisiana we celebrated again with the cousins down at Papa's house.
He wanted a Video Game themed party so we tried. He picked to play pin the nose on Mario, Mario Saduko, and find the treasures (basically I filled about 60 balloons with candy and then we threw them out in the room and the kids had to pop as many as they could to find the candy. They thought that was great fun! After the games we had Yoshi egg cupcakes and ice cream followed by opening presents and ended with playing with the various things he received. All in all I thought it went pretty good. I am so glad I have my mom to help. She is the one that made my Mario for pin the nose on Mario and she also came and helped. Along with Maryann Allison (Kaprese and Kanese's mom) and Michi and Christopher. Steph was sweet enough to take Emmitt and Analeigh for the party which was a huge help as well.
Erik we love you so much and are so grateful to have you as a part of our family. You bring so much joy to each of us. You are so kind and giving, we know Aiden benefits frequently from your generosity. You are always polite and sometimes timid. We love having your calm influence in our home. You are helpful with whatever it is we need. We love your sweet personality and are proud that you show it to all those around you.
It is so hard to believe that you are six years old. I love each day that we have as a family!
