Eric's Birthday

 Happy 6th Birthday!!!

Eric had a great birthday.  He was excited for Dad to come home, because then the party would begin. We had a quick little party at home  (opening presents and blowing out the candles), and then we took the festivities to Chucky Cheese.  He has been asking to go there for his birthday for a long time.  I told him that it would only be family and that we would not eat there just play the games and he said that that would be wonderful.  We did have a great time there as a family.

Eric is a little boy who loves to create and collect.  In fact one of his gifts was a box for underbed storage specifically for his collection.  The idea is that once it is full he will have to start getting rid of some of the stuff rather than just keep adding to the mess:)  He likes being right and is quite vocal when he feels he has been wronged.  He still loves sucking his thumb and has no desire to stop.  Eric's smile is huge and contagious.  He is a joy to have in our home, and a great brother.
