Max turns 6!

How is this cute boy 6 years old already?? Max was so excited for his birthday. He had been looking forward to having a birthday party with friends since he didn’t have one last year, but that obviously couldn’t happen with everything being shut down and social distancing. But we made the best of it and are looking forward to some fun things after this is all over. He got some fun golf stuff for his birthday!

Had some fun FaceTime chats with various family members. Also a super cute video with happy birthday messages from his Primary class and teachers!

McDonald’s for lunch, of course. Anyone know when kids grow out of loving McDonald’s?? I’m waiting.

Monka, Umpa, and Sarah stopped by with some birthday goodies.

Had to include this one because the half photobomb from Harvey cracks me up.

Tyler took the kids over to Gigi and Poppy’s for a birthday celebration that evening. Hazel and I did not go - I had a stomach bug the day before and still wasn’t feeling 100%, also didn’t want to pass it around. So they went on without me and had a fun time. Max loves to hit in the backyard.

Topped the day off with gooey cake AND s’mores! Luckiest 6-year old boy ever.

Some things about Max at 6 years old:

- Very into golf and chess lately. Any game, for that matter. He loves to learn a new game and then play it over and over until he is awesome at it.

- Max loves Pokémon! He plays Pokémon battles with the cards, loves the shows/movies, and reads the books too.  He has tons of cards and knows so much about all of them.

- He does NOT like chocolate. Or changing plans/routines.

- Max is still our best eater (though Hazel may give him a run for his money). He eats dinner every night but still likes to end most days with a banana before bed.

- Sometimes we refer to Max as a puppy. He loves so fiercely and is so loyal, and gets his feelings hurt when his siblings want to do something else. He just loves to play with people!

- Max has done well at school and had several fun friends in his class. Hopefully he can be in the same class as some of them next year.

We love our Max!!
