Lucas plans a fun birthday party

Lucas had firm ideas of what he wanted for his 6th birthday party. It started with his dad making quesadillas for all the guests...

...with all his aunts, uncles and cousins invited, and a big rich chocolate cake.
Lucas was proud to use both hands and his shirt to tell his age.
Lots of guests came to the party.
Elsie got acquainted with her 2nd cousin, Huck.
The kids played basketball and volleyball and then the dads played.


Then Lucas unwrapped his gifts...


Then all the cousins lined up by age to take turns hitting a pinata.
The little girls went first and didn't make any dents.
Then the boys each got to take three whacks at it.
James hit it hard and the candy went flying across the floor.
Everyone filled their pockets with candy.
Than Grandpa Hawkes took us up in the attic for a tour. It was cool.
