Corey's birthday!

Corey insisted on breakfast in bed on his birthday. To be fair, we typically give Daddy or Mommy breakfast in bed on THEIR birthdays, so I guess he expected the same. In fact, I believe he purposefully slept as late as possible in order to leave time for us. What a goofball. His typical breakfast: pop tart, gummy vitamins, milk and gogurt.

Brody helped Corey open all of his presents. And you can see that neither are completely dressed, as the birthday had to begin as early as possible.

Corey got "football guys" from Melinda and Gary. These joined his hockey guys and baseball guys. He loves miniature sports guys! He's played with them several times already, usually while watching football on TV. And Rob looked up some games they can play with them as well.


And no hockey ice skating birthday would be complete without a hockey cake! Corey had a great sixth birthday party. He had eight friends (and Brody) join him for ice skating. He basically skated for two hours after his party, and that doesn't include over an hour on the ice for practice earlier that day. He slept well that night!

Brody made his ice skating debut at Corey's party, with the double blades our friend Nancy picked up in Edmonton (thanks, Nancy!) They are nice because he didn't have to balance. It wasn't long before he was gliding along on his own. (Okay, more like walking on ice, but that's just getting picky.)

Corey got quite a few Legos for his birthday, and of course, help was required to put the castles, Star Wars and other items together.

Rob and I got Corey roller blades for his birthday. First, because Rob has been doing it lately (after taking them out of their semi-retirement the past five years), and also, because it's much cheaper and easier than taking him to the ice skating rink all the time! He loved it, and he looks like he's ready for his Mighty Ducks movie debut any time now.
