Happy 6th birthday Christopher!

As far as 6th birthday's go, this one was spectacular. As you can see from the fierce battle being fought in front of a Culvers ice cream cake, this was no knitting party. College friend, Laurel Shuttleworth Lebo and I had the money-saving idea that we could have a co-party for our to-be 3 and to-be 6 year olds. We would split the cost of the food and the party centerpiece...a giant moonjump. It was only as the party drew nearer that we realized our children, girl and boy respectively, wanted significantly different parties. Ruby, the almost 3 year old was dead set on a ladybug party whilst Christopher was set on a Jedi bloodbath. After much thoughtful consideration we landed on a theme that could satisfy both hopeful parties...Q: What's Black and Red All Over? A: Either a ladybug or DarthVadar lying in a pool of blood. The party was of course a success.
