Jon's 6th Birthday Party

Can you believe it?! My Jonathan turns 6 today! Below is a picture of him shortly after his birth 6 years ago with Lolo. I can't believe he is 6 already! He has gotten so big!



On Saturday we celebrated his 6th birthday at the house. All of his cousins were there and a couple of his preschool friends and our one neighbor. He had so much fun! The day didn't start out to good. I had asked him to clean up his room and he just refused! He only had a few things on the floor that I wanted him to put away, but he just wouldn't do it. Finally, I told him that I would call all of his friends and cousins and cancel his party and he finally picked up. It only took him 5 minutes! Poor thing! After that, family started coming and his friends. Right away everyone went downstairs to play pinball and video games. The basement was a huge hit with all the kids AND the adults! After everyone arrived we ate lunch. Thanks to Tita Li for cooking the adobo, punsit, egg rolls and rice! Dad cooked meatballs too so we had a ton of food! After we ate the kids and adults played a little more and than we opened up presents. The best part was that Jon told Nicholas that he could help open up his presents with him and Nick's reactions were the best! You can see some of them below! After we opened up presents we ate cake and after that we had a pinata. The party was a huge success! Such a success that some people didn't even leave until 9pm! Jon said he had a great time and he thanks everyone for his gifts! Enjoy the pictures below! Now I just have to start preparing for Nicholas' 4th birthday! At least his is not at the house. We are celebrating his a Just Jump! in Woodbury. No cleaning up for me to do! Yeah!
