Happy Birthday, Desmond!!

We had a great time celebrating Desmond turning 6!! He loves to play in the dark and experiment with glow in the dark things so, it seemed natural to do a "glow in the dark party". We procured a dark room (the garage), a black light, as many neon things as possible, and had a blast!

The beginnings of decorating.

Party!!

That's a lot of cake! (Note to those planning a black light party: just because it is brightly colored does NOT mean it will glow in a black light, not even all things white will react. The only food items I found to be black light reactive were pop rocks and tonic water.)

The next day: he's officially 6! Though he did tell me that "it takes a few minutes before he turns from 5 to 6". 

Thanks to everybody for the very generous gifts and well wishes for our fast growing young man! (Notice the Tana photo bomb. Haha)

Check back tomorrow for a funny story about the gift he is holding - bubble gum (cuz in our house you can't chew gum until your 6).  But the picture is on Marc's phone.
