For the past two years, Cohan's birthday has been cold, snowy and icy. This year, the day before his birthday was spent outside, flying kites, playing with neighbors, having friends over and no coats. We LOVED this weather!!
Cohan asked Ireland for one more picture the night before his birthday, you know, because it would be the last picture of him as a five-year-old. :)
Cohan woke up the morning of his birthday ready.
He knew he would have gifts and he was ready for them!
That day, I happened to have Jury Duty in the morning. Luckily, his sweet teacher sent me this picture. He was writing a "How To" book on how to decorate cookies, of course, they had to try it.
He was also very lucky because our principal and home school communicator shared his birthday. They all wanted a picture with him!
I was so happy to make it back just in time to eat lunch with him. Nanny surprised him and brought him lunch too!
That afternoon, I got to be there while his class sang Happy Birthday to him and they celebrated with cupcakes.
He invited his entire class to his birthday party, but one of his sweet friends couldn't be there, so she brought him a present. So sweet!
That night, we came home and opened more presents!!
Dinner was his choice... Steak n Shake it was! They love the milkshakes.
Nanny and Papa H came to bring more presents to him.
He was one happy 6 year old!!
I know this day is all about him, but I kept thinking about where we were 6 years ago. So much has changed in 6 years. I am beyond thankful for this little boy making me the luckiest mommy in the world. He is a rule follower, has a heart of gold, prays hard for others, wants to include others, is an awesome big brother, is so smart and can make us laugh each day. Thanks Cohan, for teaching us what it means to be proud parents. We love you more than all the Legos and more than you'll ever know.
