Chokie turns 6!!!


















Finally, Andreas turns 6! He's been waiting for a long time to be the same age as everyone else in his class (he's been the only five year-old in there all fall). Today consisted of pancakes and presents at dawn, treats taken to school, special request dinner (spaghetti with tomato sauce) followed by more presents from Grandma Becky and the gang and pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting. Thanks so much for the calls, Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Emily, and for the card, Aunt Leigh!

Here are a few pictures. Notice the cake/candle pics: in one Andreas is capably handling his responsibilities but . . . . in the other . . . Elena steps in to assist.
The thing they are looking at on the floor is a five foot-long timetable of the U.S. Presidents. Super-cool! He also got one with the history of the Revolutionary War.

And, of course, thanks to you, Grandma Barbie, for the wonderful card you sent (see photo above)! That meant so much to everyone!

What? No Lifesaver book?

Those presents look awesome!

Is Elena wearing a snuggie? Just wondering...

Jana said...

No, it's a hot pink fleece hooded poncho with jumbo ricrac trim I made her for her birthday (I know, TMI . . . . )

I'll take one of those ponchos, maternity size. Love it!

Thanks for posting all those great pictures! Love you, Andreas!
