Birthday Party


A Dora & Diego party with pizza.....all our favorites!


"Dowa cake!" as exclaimed by Ella



Ok, you can eat with your foot on the table on your birthday!


The cake of shame......long story short - four cakes later as two cakes stuck to the cake pan on the way out....the Diego cake mommy was making didn't get finished in time :( Mommy shed a few tears when she realized his cake wouldn't be done in time. Daddy saved the day pleading with a HyVee bakery person to change a truck cake into a Diego cake! They did it, and guess what? I don't think Grady cared that his cake wasn't made by mommy. Ohhhh the things we do "for our kids" which we're actually doing for ourself! It's time to be honest :)
He actually really liked the plastic toys on the cake! Can you believed I even debated finishing his Diego cake after the party to take a picture and make it look as if I finished his cake in our photo memories? Hehe..
Out sweet little, big boy!
Dancing on the couch! Wish I would have gotten a good picture of them with their cousins at the party....anyone have one to send me?
Ending the night with quite possibly our favorite presents....the electric toothbrushes!
