Jude's 6th Birthday

Tonight we had a little family party for Jude, just the five of us. Jude and Selah will have a party with friends and family this month, so we decided to do something special for them on their individual days. Tonight after Josh got home from work, we had dinner and made a cake. Jude decorated it with 6 blue candles, and he got to open his present from us. Jude wanted just one thing for his birthday, and he's been diligently asking for it for months!! He was over the moon excited to unwrap The Heli Cage! :) We all watched him fly it around the house this evening before bed. The excitement didn't end. At bedtime, when I sometimes make up stories for the kids, Jude asked if he could tell the story instead. I said sure! His story was about a birthday boy named Jude, and he recounted our fun evening, detail by detail! :) It was really precious.

Happy Birthday Handsome Jude! You are LOVED!!! xoxo


Opening a card he got in the mail today from his great grandparents... with a little cash gift inside that he was so excited about!

Unwrapping the beloved Heli Cage!



Six candles!

Selah is such a great helper...

Someone has quick fingers!

Happy about cake!



Benjamin stood there squealing as Josh handed out cake! He just couldn't wait for another taste!

I wish I had used the timer to get a shot of Jude with both Josh and me, but thank you Josh for snapping these! Fun night!
