Dan's Sixth Birthday

Before all the excitement of Gabe's injury, Dan had a birthday. He is now six years old! I was glad his birthday came before Gabe got hurt as I am sure this would have put a damper on the festivities and the children so enjoy their special day.

He had been anticipating his birthday for months, as he, Hannah and Rachel all have spring birthdays and his comes last. He had been talking about it and giving us gift ideas.

We hit on a couple of really great gifts for him in addition to some of his suggestions. He was thrilled.

Mom and Dad came over for dinner, dessert and celebration. We allow the children to pick their dinner and dessert for their birthdays. Dan requested shells and sauce and ice cream cake. As always, the cake was very yummy.

Happy birthday, Dan! What a big boy you are now.
