Sunday Snapshot - 6th Birthday

The birthday boy

6 years already?  Where has the time gone?  I can't believe that this weekend we celebrated Braeden's 6th birthday.  It seems as it was just yesterday that I was rushing to the hospital after work because Amy's water broke.  4 weeks early!  

Flash forward and here we are.  It was a big birthday here in Drosche Land.  We've always done family birthday parties for the boys.  But we've also always told them that when they are in Kindergarten they could have a party and invite their classmates.  Well, this was our year to follow through.  We booked his party for a place called Wonderwild.  Think about one of those indoor play areas at McDonalds.  Now make it bigger, much bigger.  That's Wonderwild.  A place for the kids to run around, bounce, slide, and have fun being wild.  Braeden enjoyed a friend's birthday party here and Amy and I were hooked once we found about how all-inclusive it was.  This appealed to us since Amy is now 33 weeks pregnant.  We knew we wouldn't have the energy or time to host a party at our house, so this was a dream come true.  

So, that was his party today.  His big day.  It went so well and he had a blast!  I enjoyed sitting back and watching him have his day.  Friday he'd brought cupcakes to school to celebrate and yesterday, his actual birthday, I (Amy sat it out since she's on bed rest) took him to see The Avengers as he's been insisting upon for the past month or so.  3 days, 3 celebrations, 1 very happy 6 year old, 2 very tired parents.  As you can see from the pictures (I think my favorite is above but it's so hard to decide) it was a birthday to remember!  Now, I have one year to get used to having a 6 year old!  I can't even begin to think about 7!

All is well, picture perfect, in Drosche Land.

Beyblades were one of the top requests for this year!

Brotherly birthday love!
