Happy 6th Birthday Timmy!

I've always told my kids that when they start school they can have a big friend party and Timmy is my child that never, ever forgets. So this year we had a big birthday party for Timmy.

We invited all of the boys in his kindergarten class and kids from church.
What a good lookin' bunch of kids!
Since this was Timmy's special birthday we also invited Richard Ritchey the Reptile Man to come to the party.

He brought all sorts of really cool reptiles. Like this Tortoise.

Richard was really good with all the kids and they were able to touch a lot of the snakes and lizards that he brought along.

This alligator that is giving Timmy a little pat on the head was found a couple of years ago down in the creek by our house and the reptile man took him in after animal control finally caught him.

Scott was so excited when the reptile man let him pick up the rattle snake and put it back in its container. I couldn't believe he actually did it. I would have been too chicken!

All the boys loved this snake, the king cobra.

Since Timmy was the birthday boy he was able to hold most of the non-venomous snakes while the other kids came up to touch them.

This boa constrictor was a little too heavy for Timmy to hold on his own so

the reptile man let the other kids come up and help.

After the reptile show it was time to open the presents!
Then we all went outside for a silly string fight and games. Timmy and his friends had a great time together and the boys were sad when their parents showed up to take them home.

Since we did the friend party the Saturday before Timmy's real birthday we had a little party with the family and grandpa and grandma. Timmy was thrilled to party on and loved his new Legos from his grandparents.

Then it was time for more cake that Matthew made for Timmy all by himself!

Happy Birthday Timmy!
