My sweet baby, Sam, turned six on Saturday!  Hard to believe, because I am certain he was JUST this big yesterday!

Sam was such a great baby! 

Aw!  Love!

Can’t stand the cuteness!    Age 1

Can’t stop, I mean, just look at him!

Age 2

Age 3

Age 4

Age 5

And now, just like that, he’s six.  What next, sixteen?  sigh

We had a fun day today with an Easter themed birthday party that Sam decided on himself.

I made him a yellow confetti cake with chocolate frosting.  Then it had bunny Peeps all around it and green frosting on top with some eggs.  Yes, I know, the cake wasn’t perfectly flat on top.  I liked to say that it was a rolling hill. ;)

Sam had some school friends over and we played lots of egg-themed games.  Probably everyone’s favorite was the pinata and the Easter egg hunt. 

But how cute is this bunny Sam made himself and they played pin-the-nose-on-the-bunny.

Sam had a great day!  They all had A LOT of candy, decorated Easter egg sugar cookies, ate cake and Peeps and I have to say, I am not looking forward to Easter actually being here in two weeks and doing all that candy again.  I feel like I just took care of that.  I say we just focus Easter on the true meaning, our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Nancy @ gottagetbakedKatrina, Sam is such a cutie! I loved seeing all the photos of him through the years - wow, he was a happy baby and now he's a big, happy boy. Adorable! And the party looked fantastic - exactly what a six year old would want. You did a fantastic job with the cake. I didn't even notice the slightly sloping hill on the top of your cake ;)
Rafat SariHappy 6th birthday to Sam! 🎉 He looks like he had such an amazing day with all the games, treats, and fun Easter-themed activities. That rolling hill cake sounds adorable and perfectly festive! Adding a custom birthday neon signs would make the party even more magical and give a fun, colorful backdrop for photos with Sam and his friends.
Martin S.Happy 6th birthday to Sam! Wow, what a sweet trip down memory lane—it’s amazing to see how much he’s grown over the years. I love all the little moments you shared, from his first days as a baby to starting kindergarten. The Easter-themed birthday sounds absolutely adorable, and that yellow confetti “rolling hill” cake with bunny Peeps is such a fun and creative idea! The games sound like so much fun too—pin-the-nose-on-the-bunny and an Easter egg hunt are perfect for a lively kids’ party. If you’re thinking about decorating, birthday neon signs would be an awesome addition. They’d add a bright, festive vibe to the party and make the celebration feel even more special for Sam and his friends. What a wonderful way to celebrate such a big milestone!

meganOh my gosh how did he get to be six?!? That doesn't seem possible - but then again, Sabrina will be sixteen in June...... You did an amazing job with the cake, it's too cute!!
Granny JacqueThanks for sharing all the pictures! We loved watching him grow through the photos. It looks like he had a great day. Love you.
CindyWhat a sweet little guy--he looks like a charmer! My baby is 25, he has one dimple--everytime he smiles my heart melts. He probably got away with too much because of that smile!! That and he was #6 and I was tired! Love the cake and all the fun party games. What a lucky little guy to have you for a Mom!
MimiSo glad I stopped by today. I can't believe how big Sam is. It was fun to see the photo roundup of the past six years. I love the cake and I'm sure that Sam and his friends did too. Mimi
