Happy Birthday Tristan!

what a weekend! friday was tristan's 6th birthday! his request was an evening with family, imo's pizza and cookie cake! i have to confess that i have never made a cookie cake before and so i was a little worried about how it would turn out-all agreed it was great and tristan requested that i make one every night! after we were all completely stuffed tristan opened presents from everyone...a few favorites were guitar hero 3 and a really cool star wars book that gammie got him (its a pop up and the lightsabers even light up!)

saturday morning we woke up early and got ready for tristan's big 'friend' birthday party. we headed to monkey joe's (a bounce house/slide party center). tristan had 19 friends from church and school and i think that they all had a really great time. they ran, bounced and tumbled down slides for and hour and a half and then we went into a party room where we had cookies, cupcakes and presents. tristan's friends were so generous and gave him everything that he wished for and more!

after the party everyone went in all different directions. bradley had a soccer game in the afternoon followed up by baseball practice in the evening. lainie went to a friends house and chris went to practice for the church talent show....so tristan and i went home and spent the afternoon building ALL of the lego sets that he got from his friends!
