Miles had his 6th birthday Saturday, but we got to celebrate a little bit for 4 days. First we went to dinner and then swimming on Thursday with Miles's buddy Gabe. Then on Friday we gave Miles his birthday gift a day early, and let him blow out the candles on his robot cake.
Then we dropped the kids off at Gma & Gpa Terry's house so that Bryan & I could attend Bryan's work Christmas party up at Snowbird. We had a nice time up there, and the kids had a great time playing with their grandparents.
Saturday morning we picked up the kids and then saw a movie. We surprised them by taking them all back up to Snowbird with us for another night in the hotel. Little kids always love to stay in hotels, right? We let them eat popcorn and candy in bed while watching TV! Also, we wanted to swim in the hotel pool. Well, unfortunately the pool at Snowbird is an outdoor pool, and the temperature that day happened to be about -1 degree, with a blizzard blowing snow. But, we're crazy (mostly Bryan is crazy and we all just go along with him) so we all trekked outside in our swimsuits and flip flops in a blizzard to sit in the hot tub. We ended up staying out there for about an hour, while the snow was pouring down all around us (and on top of our heads--we had to keep wiping inches of snow off our heads!) It was actually pretty fun!
After breakfast in bed Sunday morning, we drove home and enjoyed dinner with Papa and Gma J. It was a wonderful, fun-filled, family-filled weekend.
Here's Miles's interview. (I don't have Miles's weight, but he is TALL--the tallest kid in Kindergarten. He is now, at 6 years old, taller than Tess was at 7 1/2 years old! He's 48 1/2 inches tall.) UPDATE: I just got back from Miles's annual well-child check-up and he is 55 lb. and 48.5 in. officially.

We sure love having Miles in our family. He is outgoing and very friendly, and brave in front of a crowd. He will get up and sing songs, or read a story in Primary, or say his testimony in Sacrament meeting without being shy at all. He is super, duper smart and quick to laugh and giggle. He helps me so much and he plays really well with his sisters (usually!).
Happy Birthday Mr. Miles!!

He is looking so much older than I remember. Thank goodness he is tall, hopefully those short Terry genes remain recessive.
