January 19th, Brandon and Max met us at Jester’s Court for a day of socks and shenanigans. See this image larger.

January 20th, first time on display, my pretty horrible attempt at making a Millennium Falcon cake… See this image larger.

“Friends” on Facebook told me it looked like a cow. Hmph! See this image larger.

Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia shared Ian’s birthday and brought great presents! See this image larger.

What’s that? A Skylander? But you don’t even have that game?!? See this image larger.

What are we going to do?!? See this image larger.

Well, looky there! It’s the Skylanders game! Surprise, kiddo! See this image larger.

Pizza for dinner! See this image larger.

One of my all time favorite shots of Ian… He’s grown into such a wonderful little man. You’re a great kid! See this image larger.

Use those lungs! See this image larger.

Another benefit of turning six? It’s time, kiddo. Star Wars, Episode IV. A sci-fi escape handed down from father to son to son. 🙂 See this image larger.

What a great age! See this image larger.

Love this shot, what a little grin! See this image larger.

Wish for something cool! See this image larger.

A really cool Transformers headquarters toy was the hit of the evening, hands down! See this image larger.

Baseball mit… still currently unused. See this image larger.

A warm spell left our snowmen a shadow of their former selves on January 29th… See this image larger.

And by the 30th, well, let’s just say they pined for days of yore. See this image larger.
