Little Man Turns.......

Sissy wanted to make his cake again this year but we ran out of time. Instead, we ran to the store to pick up a small cake. Just a little one to put the candle in and give him to make a mess with.

Once we got there I saw the coolest cake! It had a bulldozer, a backhoe and a dump truck on it and the icing looked like a construction site. It was no small cake and no small price tag..... but I got it anyway.
 

 
We had a very nice little spread with Sissy's new dishes and our light supper and desert.

 
 That dark pie in the bottom right corner is a black walnut & raisin pie. It turned out a little more done than it was supposed to be but it was still very yummy. I'll give the recipe later.

Once the song was sung and the candles blown out everyone had supper with their cake and ice cream.... all on the same plate. Then there was just a little time to play before we started to open the presents. Little man had the opportunity to try out his new construction equipment. Here you can see him running the bulldozer and backhoe at the same time. That is what I call multi-tasking.

 
 Here he is at the beginning of the paper tearing spree. He is very excited to get started as you can see. This year he was ready and didn't need much assistance once the first piece was started.
 



We would like to thank everyone who couldn't come but sent gifts and cards. Everything was so nice and the little guy loved all of his new toys.
