Happy 6th Birthday, Davis!

Davis's 6th birthday was last Tuesday! We had a great time celebrating with him! This birthday was a lot more fun than the last one, I think mostly because we weren't nearly as stressed going to Ogden for fingerprinting! Also, we loved the fact that NONE of us had school! This year was exactly like the year he was born, with his birthday on a Tuesday. Only, when he was born, we came home from the hospital on Thanksgiving. That was a ton of fun! Anyway, we had presents in the morning, friends in the afternoon, and grandparents at night! Here are some fun pictures!

Opening his gifts from Mom and Dad, and Grandma and Grandpa Rusch in the morning. He was super excited about the poster from Grandma and Grandpa, and put it in his room IMMEDIATELY! He woke up at 7:20 in the morning, because he was SOOO excited! Unfortunately, he couldn't open his presents until Reagan woke up, at about 7:45.

His breakfast of choice--french toast!

We had his friends Alvin and Clark come over. After we fed them pizza from Little Caeser's, we took the kids to the Playground (formerly Battle Zone). They have a ton of inflatables that kids can bounce around on, which was super fun.

Reagan was more interested in the toddler area. She did play with the inflatables a little!

Then Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner. After present opening, we had million dollar spaghetti, which he requested, and more cake and ice cream. We love this boy!

Things I want to remember about Davis turning 6:
1. He is the BEST big brother ever! His primary objective in his life is to take care of his sister, and he does that very well!
2. He has the greatest imagination. If he had his choice (which he does most of the time), he would be shooting things all the time, with his fake weapons, of course.
3. He LOVES to learn, and is curious about EVERYTHING. I cannot even begin to describe some of the questions he asks me about. You never know what's going through his mind at any given time!
4. He loves to read and to do math. He feels so victorious when he can sound out a word, and does pretty well at it, actually. He's a smart kid!
5. All in all, Davis is very kind. I distinctly remember the day he was blessed, and Chris blessed him that he would be kind. Davis has always been, and I believe, will always be, a very kind kid. He takes it upon himself to make sure that everyone feels included in every situation that he is in.

We love you, Davis!
