Dax's Birthday

My house is a mess but instead of using a Saturday afternoon to catch up on chores I am using it to update my blog! At least my priorities are straight!

Dax turned 6 on December 9. He had a fun friend party on Saturday the 8th and then all the family came over that night to celebrate. Birthdays in our family are quite the production, but it's always a great reason to get together and see everyone. It's nice we all live so close that we can do that.Here is Dax with his friends. To the right of Dax, in the red, white, and blue striped shirt is Erin's little boy Dallen. In the front with the maroon and navy striped shirt is Noelle's little boy Braden. The kids had a great time playing games and eating treats. The party went over about 2 hours because of a massive snowstorm which prevented parents picking their kids up on time!
Later that evening was more presents, more cake, and more ice cream with both sets of Grandparents and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.



Because Dax's birthday is so close to Christmas we really have to make an effort to make his birthday an important time. We usually wait to put up Christmas until the 10th to give Dax a genuine birthday celebration. With that being said...on to Christmas!!
