I really can't believe Max just turned 6 years old. I have gotten to photograph every birthday except his actual birth. In fact, Kerah actually interviewed Kevin for Google ON her due date with Max and then just this last year Max was the ring bearer in Kevin and my wedding. Max is AWESOME! He is sweet and kind, totally into science and playing music and sports. He is an all around well rounded good kid. We love him and are honored to be at his sixth birthday party.

And what a party it was! Max got to invite all his friends from school and tee-ball plus his good friends from the neighborhood and Mom & Dad's friend's kids. It was a great big party with quite a theme. It was a martial arts/karate party at the school where Max is learning Martial Arts. It started with a demonstration by some of the other older kids and young adults and then mini class for Max and all his friends. It was super cute. Then came the pi–ata in the shape of a number 6 followed by CAKE! Ice cream cake from Carvel! Yum! Then some running and funny walks across the mats to work off some of the ice cream cake and then finally Max got to be the star of his own martial arts movie, complete with the lesson that what you see in the movies and on TV is fake fighting, not real. And of course the all important talk about how we don't use anything we learn outside of the academy. All in all a awesome birthday for an awesome 6 year old!!
