The birthday kiddo also gets to choose what theme of party they want to have (under supervision, of course!) G chose race cars this year - so we started brainstorming about what kind of race car party to host! He chose to have it at the beach as well! Here are our stop light graham cracker with M&M lights! They were a hit - and about gone in 5 minutes!
I attempted to make a race car cake! I am NOT a cake decorator AT ALL (where is Missy when you needed her?!) But I attempted and it came out tasting pretty good, which is all the guests cared about!
G really like his cake and I was glad to make him happy!
Tons of food!!!
Then came the fun! I hadn't planned many games since we had a playground right next to our pavillion and the beach access as well. I did do water balloons since our tradition has been to do them every year at G's party! The kids loved them and again, they were gone in about 5 minutes!

G was blessed with many gifts! (way too many!) 
It is fun to have him be able to read his cards this year!
He got a Lego jet/helicopter set from some good friends. Luckily, Papa and Nana Batchelor were here to help him put it together! I think I would have been lost at step 3!

Nana had been teasing G the whole week that one of his birthday sacks (pictured above!) was full of underwear! Now G gets embarrassed rather easily, so Nana kept teasing him that he was going to open underwear in front of everyone! It was classic! We decided to put a pair of his underwear on the top (easily seen by walking by) so he truly thought he was getting a lot of underwear! His face was priceless!
G also got rockets for his birthday to continue on his set from Christmas! We shot some off before Papa and Nana left and one even got stuck in a tree, later to be recovered by Daddy and Papa!

G is a very speical little guy! He has such a tender heart and love for anybody. I pray daily that God protects that tenderness for his future family! G is doing well in school and has really taken off with his reading! He is writing paragraphs now, which is a big step for him to use an imagination that once never existed. We have had such fun with you G in the 6 years we have loved on you! Happy Birthday!
How is it possible that this sweet boy can be 6 years old already??!!! He has gotten so big. I can't begin to tell you how much I'm looking forward to you all living closer. I miss these kiddos SOOOOO much (and their mommmy and daddy too)! Thanks for sharing pics of such a special day!
