Hunter turns SIX!

So, so crazy that six years has gone by...it's hard to remember a time without Hunter.  Yesterday he walked in the door after school and said, "What is that smell?  Smells like joy to me!"  It was the chocolate cake!
He is just so funny!  We had a great day...busy, but a lot of fun.  I will post the pictures tomorrow as there are a ton, but here are a few:

Recap of our busy day on February 11, 2012...

(if you click on the photos they will get larger and be easier to see)

I took a picture of Hunter right around the time he was born.  6:04 a.m.  I was up that early thanks to Winnie who woke me up around 5:45!


Hunter's birthday breakfast...an Oreo donut.  He said, "Oh, I knew you were going to give me a special breakfast."  I wanted to make something nice, but I knew we would not have much time this morning.



Hunter and his basketball team had a little end of season party at William's Park at 9:30am.  Each child got a trophy.

The kids played at the playground for a bit, but it was so cold!!


The cake is ready to go...I wrote Happy 6th birthday Hunter on the stars around the cake with an edible pen.



MooMa and Papa came to celebrate with Hunter.  He got to open his presents from them before we left for the party.  His friend, Lucas, helped him.



Winnie and Sadie always think people come over to see them.

Four silly boys ready for a party.  I like the look on Austin's face as he is looking at Hunter.


The first 35 minutes, or so, of the party was in a bounce section.  The kids had a lot of fun.

The 2nd half of the party was in the gym.  Here is a group shot of most of the kids.

They had relays, did some shooting, and played a few tag games.


Austin had to get in on the action...as well as some of the younger siblings.


Chris and I on the basketball court.

The last 30 minutes, or so, of the party was in the party room.  The kids had cupcakes, ice cream, and got their party favors before going home.  They also had a mascot that came by to visit the kids as well.


Opening up his presents back at home.


We had homemade pizza for dinner.


Austin would not eat, because he was too busy playing basketball with Hunter's new basketball!


After dinner we had Emily and Jay over for cake.  I was afraid to cut the cake after the hours of work I had put into it.  It was pretty tasty!


We printed out a picture of Great Wolf Lodge.  We are going soon...our present to Hunter.  He was pretty excited.  We got online and looked at some more pictures and videos of the indoor water park.  Can't wait to go!


Me and my boys opening and reading all of Hunter's birthday cards.


Such a busy day...I hope, some day, Hunter looks back and realizes how lucky he is.  He has so many sweet friends...some he has known since he was very young, neighbors, preschool friends, and now his kindergarten friends.  I think the day was a success!
