Jamison is super easy to please. He got a pair of new shoes, a little basketball with a hoop acquired from Matthew's childhood, and some backyardigans' movies. We like the backyardigans. He also got lot of good stuff from his grandparents. Trucks, coloring pages, and games. Good times for a little boy. We kept telling him it was his birthday and he would point back and say "No, you birthday, Mommy!". We aren't super big party people, so it was small and simple. We let him do what he wanted.
Gavin and Jamison are currently obsessed with playing the old school Mario Bros. game online with Matthew. We decided that a mushroom would be a fairly easy cake to make. So, here it is!
I don't even know if he ate any of his cake. None of my kids are big cake eaters. I'm not a big cake eater. Matthew ate some. The rest went to his family. Glad they took care of it.
I realized as I looked at posting Jamison's birthday, that I never posted anything about Gavin's birthday. Poor kid. Middle child syndrome. So, here you have a small tribute to Gavin turning 4. Mostly I just wanted to post a picture of his cake.
Obviously I need better food coloring. Who's ever heard of pastel legos? Oh well, he liked it. I try to keep my kids' cakes simple. I'm not super good at decorating. In fact, I think this is the first year that all 3 of them got home made cakes!! (okay, so McKinley's was fruit pizza, but home made none the less. Way better than cake anyway!)
Hope everyone is finding time to Christmas shop! What? Shop for Christmas? My poor husband may not have any presents under the tree. That doesn't mean I don't love him.
