On his official 6th birthday, February 27, 2015, James got to pick almost everything about his special day. He started out his day getting his present from Mom and Dad– a new, fuzzy robe! He insists on wearing it with nothing underneath except underpants, so he’s like our own little Hefner.

| Trying on his new robe, complete with room to grow… |
 |
| He loves to read his birthday cards himself now. |
James requested beignets for his birthday breakfast so he and Chris made them together. I just love watching them together.
 |
| Getting everything ready. |
 |
| Learning to measure out the ingredients |
 |
After donning a hat for the occasion (I warned you
you would see it again), James wanted to use cookie
cutters to shape the beignets. |
 |
I don’t remember what happened, but I was thrilled
to have caught the surprise on his face at just the right
moment. |
 |
As it turns out, cookie cutters don’t work well for
beignets, so we went with rectangles. |
 |
James’ favorite job is adding the powdered sugar.
We usually have to remind him that less is more. |
 |
| Enjoying the amazingly delicious fruits of his labor! |
 |
| Leo would like to know where his beignets are. |
After a scrumptious breakfast, we headed off to Disney World to spend the day doing whatever he wanted. He had a blast being in charge of all the decisions.
