Six

We have a six year old.  How did that happen?  We had a couple of fun days celebrating our big boy.  

We had a fun family day on his actual birthday.  He got a new bike (because Mom backed over his old one…oops) but too bad he hasn't been able to ride it because of this never-ending winter.  

We capped it off with dirt cake, a Merrick family favorite. 

 That weekend we had a sledding party with his buddies.  

Getting excited before the party.

 Have to use two hands now!  

Sweet sweet buddies.   

Some of the action

Kendall and Langley enjoyed themselves too.  

Reese and Langley are two peas in a pod. 

 This snow buddy is going to miss these winters.  

 Some more sweet friends.

 The dads had some fun too
