judah turns six.
On Sunday we celebrated a new church and our boy’s sixth birthday. It was a big day!
Judah sneaked in my bedroom first thing and woke me up by asking, “Mommy, am I six now?” To which I sleepily answered, “Yes! You are buddy!” And he said, “But my pj’s still fit!”
He ate his favorite “color circle cereal” for breakfast (Fruit Loops) and got to open one present: a Star Wars toy set that David picked out on Amazon, and exclaimed, “This is the best birthday ever!!!”
We had an incredibly sweet first worship service at Columbia Presbyterian Church. I was overwhelmed by the love, joy, and answered prayer we all felt. I couldn’t be more excited about our future. Kids age six and up sit in the worship service, and I loved having my boy next to me. Afterward he told David, “Dad, you had a great preach!”
We had the family over for cake and ice cream Sunday afternoon. Shari made an awesome Darth Vader cake topper. Later on the four of us ordered pizza and put on pj’s, then piled on the sofa for what Judah has been waiting close to a year for: his first viewing of Star Wars Episode IV. We’ve been telling him he can watch the movies when he turns six, then got him the dvd’s for his birthday. And, in typical younger-sibling fashion, of course Amie got to watch too.
