The birthday cake has turned into quite a tradition in our family. My bestie taught me the basics of cake decorating shortly after Thing 1 was born. This is certainly a frustrating craft for me but I'm determined at every birthday to make something special for the boys. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I nail it, but it's always a dramatic experience in the house. The kids know to leave me alone when I'm working on a cake because I get so frustrated when it doesn't cooperate! Frosting is nothing like fabric! I can make fabric do almost anything I want it to. Frosting and cake seem to have a life all their own. With this cake tradition, there must be a family dinner to celebrate. This year it was a small gathering due to a few conflicts and last minute scheduling, but the cake was a hit with the boys.
This might not make much sense to many people, but this is a creeper from the game, Minecraft. Minecraft is a game that has taken off and they older two play it whenever they possibly can!
The special celebration came during our vacation. We certainly didn't plan our vacation around Thing 2's birthday. It just happened to be the only week during summer break that worked for both families. So Thing 2 had the amazing experience of spending his birthday at Disneyland! We visited Town Hall on main street where he received his special Happy Birthday button and all the boys received a I'm Celebrating button. What a day! He counted. He received 18 Happy Birthday wishes from Disneyland workers thru the day, rode every ride in the front seat, and was the rebel spy on the Star Tours ride.
Of course you have to top off your amazing 8th birthday with a large piece of chocolate cake! This truly was a birthday to remember.
