Nicholas' 6th Birthday

Happy 6th Birthday to Nicholas! 
This year, Nicholas' birthday fell on the Veteran's Day -- so he had the day off from school and could spend the whole day at home with Donovan, Lily, and me -- and Doug came home early from work to spend more time with all of us. 

Nicholas wanted a monster cake - the perfect excuse to use up lots of our Halloween candy for decorations. I particularly like the eyes (gumballs), the mouth (starburst), and the tongue (airheads). The brown hair started out as a type of cotton candy (labeled Werewolf hair), but it started dissolving soon after we added it to the cake. 

Nicholas is 6!

Donovan, Lily, Aricca, and Nicholas - with Lily's new book.

Nicholas covered in "silly string." The kids think that this is a great new birthday tradition.

Ray, Malu, Neel and Hael always send a small present for each child -- which is always a huge hit!

The cake - close up.
