Justin's 6th Birthday

It's already Jan. 16th, and so far the month seems like a blur. I have been very remiss, as usual, in blogging. One week ago was Justin's 6th birthday. I can't believe that six years ago, this was the photo of him in the hospital:


and now, this is the photo we have of him.

Justin had a Star Wars party complete with an R2D2 cake made by yours truly. I was going to attempt a 3D upright version with about 4 round cake layers and a dome layer on top, but I just did not have time to make all the cake layers required. Plus we would've had tons of cake left over. Please don't comment that R2's arms/legs were not correct and need to go all the way up the side. Hannah already let me know full well that R2 did not look like he should. We had 8, 5-6 year old boys, including Justin, which is always crazy. It was fun, but I was glad when it was over. Now, we will be doing it all over again next weekend with a bunch of 7-8 year old girls for Hannah's birthday.

And here is clone trooper, Justin, on his big day.
