James turned 6!

James had a birthday! Hooray! He had a really great day.

As part of the tradition we put balloons in his room while he was sleeping. This years grand total was about 40 balloons.

I made his cake this year. James requested a chocolate cake with red frosting and sprinkles. He did the sprinkles part. I then as a surprise drew a train and wrote Happy Birthday, James T. I have to include the T. now because that's what he gets called at school and it's hes "new name." 

We decided on taking him to his favorite place, the train museum, for his big day. We invited his friend Noah to join us. They had a ton of fun together.

Walking to the museum from where we parked the car.

This was Noah first time in the museum.

Every train you could go into James and Noah went.
Which was great because James never wants to go in any.

Of course the toy train area was a huge hit. 

Charles even got in on the fun. 

This display has large model engines of Thomas on top and Percy on the left.
There's buttons to make them go. James is under the table
where you can turn Annie around on a turn table.

Back at our place for cake and presents.

James got pretty spoiled.

One exhausted boy at the end of the day sleeping in his new pj's with his new magnetic letters....

...and toys and balloons all over his room.

Happy Birthday to my sweet, silly, smart boy.
