Casey is six

Casey loves his birthday more than anyone else I know. At home, he has been counting down since the beginning of the summer. His teacher told me that as the rest of the class counts up on the calendar, Casey has been counting down to his birthday. His request for cake: chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, chocolate ice cream, and star wars guys on top.
I love this guy so much. Casey possesses so much goodness and kindness. He is just nice. He is patient as things around him are chaotic. He is willing to sit and wait (and play with his toys) until things calm down. He is a peacemaker with his brothers and sisters and they all love to have him on their team. He is one of Anna's favorite people and is an expert on what he calls "baby control." He doesn't have very many demands and he sees joy in simple things. He really makes my life much easier. So, Happy Birthday to you, Casey! You are one special six year old.

I'd say you got off pretty easy on the cake. Some of the plans I heard earlier in the year were much more involved. I'm glad you lucked out! Looks Yummy! I hope Casey had a great birthday!
