Here's how Owen celebrated turning 6. We started his special day with Daddy's homemade sugar donuts! Owen loved the sweet breakfast treat and sitting in his birthday chair decked out in balloons.

That night he got have a his favorite meal cheeseburgers and sweet potato fries with Nutella birthday brownies for dessert. He opened cards and gifts from his family and received lots of phone calls.

Saturday was the big birthday party with his closest buddies. The party was held at The Works in Bloomington. It's a great place full of hands on science and engineering activities. It was such a fun time! They got to explore the museum, make glow in the dark slime and then enjoy cupcakes and presents. Owen had a blast and was so happy to have his friends help him celebrate his birthday.
