A Week In The Life, Vol 50.
Only two weeks left in the year!!
What a crazy thought. This was a super special week because it was Max’s birthday weekend!
Please tell me how on earth this baby boy is six?!
Also, speaking of only two weeks being left in the year… HOW? I mean, I get it, as it’s been the slowest and fastest year of life. The last week I’ve been reassessing some goals I made for 2020, so many of which are laughable at this point. But, some still held throughout the year, so I’m trying to figure out what went well and what didn’t. With a bit of grace in there too, since it was 2020.
These are just a fraction of my mom’s christmas ornaments. So many old, wonderful ones.
Waiting for her brother to get a haircut! Now he really looks like he is 14.
And Max had to make an angel for school, so naturally Emilia wanted to make one too. Cutest ever.
We blew up tons of balloons for Max’s birthday!
My SIL sent him this amazing christmas coloring banner. He is obsessed!
We had such a weird busy week that I photographed NONE of our dinners!! What!! I did photograph this mango papaya daily harvest smoothie. It was good! Would also be delicious with some coconut rum.
Birthday boy!
The elf left Max a message the morning of his birthday.
And I felt so bad that we couldn’t have a party for him, so we ended up getting the big yard signs too. He LOVED them and was so excited!
Friday ended up being such a nice day! It was 60 degrees out and sunny. We ended up having a drive by birthday for him.
When I ordered his cake a few months ago, he wavered between a Jurassic Park cake (?!), avengers cake and ghostbusters cake. Ha!
His jurassic park cake won and he picked one off of pinterest that he liked. So funny.
The inside was funfetti with white chocolate!
And we had ordered avengers cookies too, which ended up being perfect to hand out for the drive by party!
But why does he look so old here?!
I can’t handle the cuteness.
It was such a nice little weekend! Especially when you can blow on your cake because no one can come to the party. Ha! Who knew blowing out candles could be a thing of the past?!

Happy Birthday, Max!!! Wow, it seems like yesterday you were announcing your pregnancy. His birth story is still my favorite post on your blog….absolutely hysterical!!
It’s been fun to watch him grow. Cheers to another year around the sun. :)
Happy birthday Max!! It looks like a great day despite the social distancing. Love all the photos and the cake looks great. I’m sure he felt very special with the writing on the mirror and yard signs. Hope you have a great week!
that Christmas coloring banner is such a perfect gift for Max! please show us the in-progress and final results!
That pic of Max laying on the ground is frame-worthy! What a doll.
EXCUSE ME, he’s SIX?? How is that possible when I’m SURE we’re still in our late 20s? ** cough cough ** This is a reminder of how long I’ve been reading.
I totally get the candles thing, because we were in the same predicament for both my son and my nephew, whose birthdays were smack dab in the middle of quarantine. The idea we landed on was to cut a big piece of cake for the birthday kid, and put the candles on just THAT piece. That way the kid only blew on his own cake, and not the whole cake! In fact, that may be a tradition that we continue in the future, because when you stop to think about it, eating cake that someone has blown spittle all over is kinda gross…. LOL
Happy birthday to your big boy! I can’t even imagine my baby Bradley that old right now 🥺 lol
Happy Birthday Max! Cake looks great!
I love all the birthday photos – and the one of him in the sunlight is amazing! Happy birthday!
