X is 6!

Six things that I love about my Xanderman:

1. His big 'ole lips, especially when he puckers them up to give me a kiss.
2. I love listening to him play with his toys - all the sounds he makes and the things he has them say are hilarious!
3. He is such a little gentleman; he always holds the door open for me, draws me pictures or writes little notes, and always, ALWAYS picks me flowers.
4. He is a very good big brother to Noah.
5. He is a very calm 6 year old boy - thank goodness for that!
6. Xander is extremely funny and says things that have us all rolling! As my dad likes to say - he's just a goofy little guy!
   

The birthday morning balloons were followed by a special birthday breakfast of waffles with strawberries and whipped cream.

At school Xander enjoyed being recognized for his birthday by wearing a special crown and handing out treats to all his classmates. He was also lucky enough to have his birthday party on his actual birthday but pictures of that will follow at a later time.
Xander always gets plenty of new Star Wars guys for his birthday!

The best had to be when he opened the gift from my sister Heidi and her family - when Xander saw that they had sent him an encyclopedia on ALL the Clone Wars characters he said, "Now this is what I'm talking about!"
