We broke from tradition and had a Lego themed birthday party for John this year. He's really been getting into building all kinds of things so we thought it would be fun.
We rented a tub of Legos from a family with 3 boys and John and his friends got to work!
Even Karis wanted in on a piece of it...
Then we had a tower building contest with wooden blocks...
And we paused for some cake. John wanted to decorate it with a Lego creation:
And I wanted to try my hand at Lego shaped cake:
And Grandy and Papa Len came for all the festivities. (Thanks to them for the use of their church's awesome play room and yard area.)
Unsurprisingly, the boys couldn't handle too much more inside time, so they headed out for a game of soccer. Hence our shirtless wonder:
Thanks to all his great friends for the wonderful gifts, many of which added to his otherwise paltry Lego collection.
We love this kid: part baller, part space cadet, part softie, part goofball, part thoughtful one, and total blessing!
May you continue to grow in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and men! (Luke 2:52)
We love you, John!
