Ramsey's Birthday Party

Thankfully, the weather was semi-OK for everyone to make it to Ramsey's 6th Birthday Bash on Saturday.  It was foggy coming from the North, with a bit of precip.   Everyone made it, so Ramsey was a super happy camper!  (He'd been talking about this party for days, stating "almost everyone I love is going to be at the party!")

 The custom die-cut Star Wars cake topper (featuring Darth Vader fighting Luke Skywalker) did not make it in time to add to his dark and silvery galaxy cake with edible stars (ok, so it didn't get the full "galaxy treatment" - whoops!).  Later, Ramsey placed two toy figurines on top instead!

We had time to visit with the family and hang out for a bit.

 Bridger and Ramsey played light sabers for a while.

 Connor showed Sadie and Isaac the new Oculus the boys got for Christmas and played Beat Saber.

Checking devices was also a necessity.  ;-)

We got a lot of nice photo ops of the fam!

Then, lunch time!

Notable: That morning at 4:30 AM, Eric got called out on a serious police matter in town.  He made it to the party, but not until right after everyone had just finished eating lunch.

And then, it was a matter of CAKE TIME!

I wonder what a six-year-old wishes for...?!

Ramsey thought he was funny with his oversized pieces of cake.

I tried to do a galaxy-style cake (with vanilla/Oreo frosting in between layers - per Ramsey's request), with blue (vanilla), dark purple (vanilla), and dark chocolate cake.  I didn't go as far as adding round "planets" or anything else into the batter. I didn't have (er, "make") that kind of time. ha!

PRESENT TIME!

Thanks again to Auntie Sarah for taking some super pictures!  I really need a new camera.  Oye!

Ramsey got lots of great books, games, two cool Star Wars backpacks, workbooks, sticker books, UNO, blaster guns, Star Wars PJs, a Star Wars Mandalorian Dark Saber, an Amazon gift card, and two diamond art pictures that Nana Vicki made.  Aaaand, he got money.... which will go directly into his college savings account! 

Since Connor's birthday is one week after Ramsey's, he got to open some early birthday presents from Nana and Bumpa and Uncle Corey.

 He got tennis balls, a diamond art Vikings print from Nana (frame coming soon) and a $50 Amazon gift card from Uncle Cory!

Before everyone left, we had to pictures of the kids (they just don't stop growing!). 

Connor's other little brother Bridger is now an "honorary cousin".  :-)

 And... had to get a picture with the [attending] grandparents.

As the weather was getting cruddy up north, the party was cut a little bit short.  No sledding this year - next year though! *wink*   We were so very happy to have this great bunch at home with us!!!
