WOW, Luke is six years old today! What a wild ride it's been the last six years. Luke has grown and changed so much. Such an amazing journey! Tonight we ate Luke's favorite meal: Fettucinie Alfredo, Romaine Salad with Balsamic Vinegrette dressing and apple pie to finish up! Because of timing issues and conference, we had his friend party two weeks ago. It ended up being really nice to separate the two because we were able to just have fun tonight and make it really special. He did have a great friend party though.
As most of you know I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE birthday parties, so they are always a bit of an event at our house. This year Luke had a difficult time deciding on a theme, but finally settled on a Spy/Detective party theme. So I searched online and found the cutest ideas. We made invitations out of file folders, just like real case files, complete with agent names, an agency (The LDA: Lucas Detective Agency) and of course a top secret message (party details) for them to decode using the bathroom mirror. Upon arrival at the LDA Headquarters, each agent received a spy badge, spy hat (fedora), magnifying glass, notepad, pen, secret alias...you know the works! Then they had a scavenger hunt, played various top secret games, knocked a pinata silly, scrambled for candy, moved onto cupcakes and finally opened gifts. Luke had a great time and I think we made some fun family memories.

I can't believe 6 years ago I was talking to you in the hospital and seeing brand new little Lucas as a newborn! Time flies!
I'm so glad to see you on the blog bandwagon and look forward to seeing more posts! Do you have any pictures of that birthday party? Maggie is always trying to get the kids around here to play secret agents, and they just look at her like, "What?" We will be having our first kids birthday party this year when Maggie turns 6...I'm just hoping I can do something good with it! So, keep posting all the inspiring stuff!
