Ben's 5th Birthday was a blast! Grandpa cooked a delicious dutch-oven dinner, the cousins came and the absolute best part was his "righteous" Transformers cake. The Transformers were so tough that they broke the cake into pieces by the time we got around to eating it!
Original cake...it's a masterpiece, isn't it?
Tough Transformer breaks off edge of cake...
Transformer war utterly destroys cake...
For their joint birthday present, Ben & Spence got the most awesome power wheels Jeep! They spend each day going on new adventures and they make me think of a new place for them to go each time. They are now veteran world travelers (or at least veteran back yard travelers).
Spence had been planning his Diego birthday cake for weeks before the big day. He absolutely bounced off the walls in excitement when it was finally finished!
Our Diego adventure included tying up a crocodile and hitting it until candy fell out. Would Diego approve of this treatment of endangered animals? We don't know, but we sure had fun!
Daddy turned the big 4-0 on the same day that Spencer turned 3. He wanted a Dora cake to match the Diego cake but we decided he was too old for Nickelodeon-inspired character cakes. He got a boring Happy 40th Birthday cake instead. It's a bummer to grow up, isn't it?
