You thought he was older, but no. Captain America is really six years old-as of December 18th.
Levi had his first “friend” birthday party this year and I have decided two things as a result. First, my mother was right. I should NEVER have had a baby the week before Christmas. Planning and carrying out a birthday party that close to Christmas is ridiculous, not only because you are trying to buy gifts for this kid for two major events at the same time but because it seems crazy to give the kid a ton of toys only a week before he’s going to get a ton more! We usually don’t give the kids a ton on their birthday, but the friends they invite sure do! Second, we are celebrating Levi’s birthday from now on in June, on his half birthday. Then all the loud rambunctious little boys that come to the party can play OUTSIDE and Levi gets his gift getting spread out. Not to mention the lack of major holidays in June. All that being said, we survived and he had the time of his little six year old life.
The Games
Reagan planned the games for the party and did a great job. They played Pin the Star on Captain America’s Shield, Break Wall with Captain America’s Shield, Block bullets with Captain A’s Shield and Bullet (beanbag/tin foil ball) Toss. Here’s Break the Wall:
And here is Dad playing, Block the Bullets:
The Cake
The Presents
I love this one because it shows Levi’s wonderment at getting and Cade’s joy at giving.
This one is just priceless. Who knew an electric toothbrush could inspire such mischief.
Levi loves his hat and has worn it outside every day.
His brothers both have a super hero blanket, so this was Mom and Dad’s gift. It is five times too big, but he carries it with him all over the house.
We sure love Levi. He is such a happy bright spot in our home and day. His first instinct was to give some of his toys to his brothers. Even Liberty is part Iron Man now thanks to Levi’s generosity.
I’m so glad this boy has made it to six years old. There have been many a day I wasn’t sure he’d make it this far!!! Hopefully the angels in heaven and the ER will keep looking out for him.
