Drake is 6 Years Old

DRAKE IS 6

Drake you are such a happy boy.  You love to play make believe and have a wonderful imagination.  You have a very tender heart and cry when you see posters of lost dogs.  You also cry in any movie that has a tender moment and this is one of my most favorite things about you! You are so kind to others and everyone wants to be your friend. You sing opera style all day long, every minute of every day.  You have a good little voice and I love hearing you sing. You favorite food is broccoli and apples and your favorite color is Orange. When you grow up you want to be a vet or a mailman because those are jobs that help people. You have the very best smile!! 

Love you,  Mom

We started Drake's birthday weekend off with a bang and he and I went to Lee's on Friday morning for donuts. He loves the donuts there and his favorite kind is the white donut with white frosting and sprinkles.

That day at school they celebrated Drake and made him a birthday book. In the book was a picture that every kid in his class had drawn for him. He also got a birthday hat and wore it at school and all weekend at our house. He loved celebrating his birthday at school.

He woke up on his birthday as happy as could be and ready to celebrate. It was a Sunday so we ate some breakfast at home and then went to church where he was able to celebrate a little bit more.

He is the most handsome 6 year old I have ever seen.

That night we just did a small dinner with our little family and let Drake choose what he wanted to eat. He picked the Annie's white shell mac n' cheese, broccoli, oranges, and go-gurts. It was an easy meal and he ate every bite.

Later that evening we had all of our family out here for cake and ice cream. Drake wanted the funfetti cupcakes and frosting and vanilla ice cream.  We had a lot of people out here at our house and they all brought him some fun gifts and told Drake how much they loved him.  This little boy is loved so much and we are so blessed to have that happy smile of his in our home. He brings happiness to everyone around him.  We are proud of you Drake and love you so very much. Keep smiling that bright smile!
