Happy Birthday Austin!

Happy Birthday Austin!

6 years old

You can get away with blowing bubbles in your chocolate milk on your birthday!

Austin chose to have german pancakes for breakfast, yum!

As soon as school was over, we invited Austin's friends over for his birthday party.  

He could hardly wait.

The kids had fun making candy necklaces.

We had some relay races.

A piñata always makes things exciting!

All of the kids took turns hitting it, and then Hunter took a few swings but let Austin finish it off.

Austin loved having his friends over, he loved the games and treats, and he loved all of his gifts.  It was all so perfect!

A new bike was our gift to Austin.

Linsey made Austin his birthday cake and our neighbor let us borrow her cake stand again, the one that turns and sings happy birthday.  We think it's pretty cool!

The next day we drove out to Kennewick to celebrate with Grandpa.  

Grandpa Butler and Austin share the same birthday!

We love Austin and his sweet personality.  Our family has a tradition where we go around and say something that we love about the birthday person during their birthday dinner.  When it was my turn, I said, "There are so many things I love about Austin, it's hard to choose just one..."  Austin interrupted and said, "Just say them all."  It was so cute, we laughed and laughed.
