Lukas's 6th Birthday

My big boy turned 6 on friday. Wow, how time flies!!! I'm a mommy for 6 years now!!!
Here Lukas in the morning opening gifts from germany!!! Thank you sooo much!!!

 We had rice-casserol with apples, raisins and cinnemon... his favorite menu :)

 I asked him which cake he would like for his birthday, and he wanted strawberrycake... here it is.

 Aren't they cute?! :D

 Noah Jamie tried sponge cake the first time and he love it :)... my boy :D

 For Saturday we planed a Lego-Birthdayparty. Lukas helped me with the preparations and did the invitations and the name tags. I'm so proud of him!

 His crown

 Mini-cupcakes

 ... and the Lego cake :)

 At the party... all kids who were invited came and so we had 12 kids here (with ours). They had fun to play... of course Legos!!! and ate too less... we also had raspberry cupcakes and a legocake with m&m's... so the parents had to help eating :)

 the goodiebags...

And the party was over...
Lukas was very happy with his presents, he liked the Legos the most... of course ;) Thank you very much for making my boy smile!!!

The first pants were for Noah Jamie... they are a bit long, but thats okay... better than to short ;)

Hotwheel T-Shirt

So, here it is... finished this morning...
This is Lukas's Hotwheel T-Shirt... he loves to draw hotwheels and so I took one of his pictures and copies it and sew it on a shirt I sewed... (sorry, I didn't make pics of every step)

at first I made my own pattern of one of his Shirts

copied it on the fabric, cut, sewed together...

striepes for the ends,

sewed and cut of the rest

Cut all Hotwheel pieces from felt and sew them all on this shirt, sewed the lightbeam, wheels and a bit more for more effekts...

and here it is ready!!!!

Lukas was very happy and is proud of his shirt... he already asked me to wear it to church ;) Also I think it is a very amazing memory for later... it's not just keep a piece of paper, now we keep this shirt for him as memory of his amazing drawing!!! He is not even 6 and makes this kind of pics almost every day!!!

Feel free to copy this idea ;) and sorry for my english... i'm still learning...
Wish me luck!!!
