six

and just like that.....

my baby turned six.

he celebrated with a cubs themed baseball party, complete with a pickup baseball game.  this kid is seriously the most energetic and enthusiastic person i know.  he makes life so much fun (and keeps me thoroughly exhausted!)  cheers to six.  but don't you be getting any ideas about how old that makes me.......lol!

and just because everyone loves a good progression.....here is h with his best gal pal, flora at every. single. birthday. party.

six years and counting.....

putting the 'art' in party!

this year we hosted our first joint birthday party.  

hendrix turned 5.  

blaire turned 3.  

they have an overlap of joint friends and their big days are just a month apart.  

so......

we found a theme they could both get behind - painting!  

with bold colors, paint pallets, and rainbow treats - the whole event was full of splatters and creativity.

blaire-belle turns one!

my little doll face turned one!!

we celebrated with a morning party serving all her favorites breakfast foods - pancakes, yogurt and berries!  yum!  these food fit perfectly into my pink and blue color scheme ;)

her cake was gorgeous and made by my friend, kari white, who is venturing out on a new career in baked goods, so i was pleased to give her some business!  the cake was beautiful!!!

after helping us decorate, the birthday girl went down for a nap and actually missed the first half of her party.....but that is okay, we would rather a rested and happy party girl!  ;)

when she got up it was snack time!

sharing with cousin annalise!

she was pretty excited about opening her presents, and seem to have a particular fondness for her new baby ;)

then we did her first cake smash right in the middle of the dining room table ;)

i love my sweet little family, and can't believe how quickly these milestones approach and soon pass!  

happy birthday baby girl ;)
