On the 14th Day of Christmas, My Big Boy turned 6

Advent~Blog~A~Long~Day#14

What an EXCITING morning it was this morning with young Caleb bouncing out of bed and proudly stating that after such a LONG wait (it does seem like that when your birthday is a the end of the year) that he was FINALLY 6 (just in time for Grade 1 too!) ...

I'm so proud of the BOY that Caleb is growing into, he's a delight and just such a COLOURFUL ENERGY in our lives! He did look puzzled though (and this was at 6:30am) when we told him that truthfully he wasn't really 6 until 11:13am, as that was the time he made his daring, and ENERGETIC grand entrance into this world! lol ...

He had the most AMAZING day any little boy could dream of on his Birthday. You see his beloved Prep Turtle Class was also having their end of year celebration at Squiggles (indoor play centre) and Jurassic Park (water park) ~ mind you that Caleb was also having his birthday party at the same venue after school (so he thought he was EXTRA SPECIAL for being able to visit TWICE in one day!) ..

A day of CELEBRATIONS, a day of FRIENDS, a day of JOY, what more could a little boy of 6 ask for! Of course he was totally spoiled by his family and friends with gifts, and I was so proud that he took the time to carefully unwrap, read cards and give thanks (with beautiful manners) for each gift he received! ..

Happy 6th Birthday my BIG Prince Charming! You steps in your life are paving a grand pathway and Mummy and Daddy couldn't be any prouder of you Gorgeous Boy! ....
