Remember that Drew already had his birthday party replacement at Legoland over the summer. He had his birthday dinner in Gulf Shores, and now that we settled in a bit at home we finally were able to make him his cake. Genna baked the cake for me because I was quite bus and she enjoys doing those sorts of things. The only request was that it be a red Ninja Turtle. I had left-over gold icing from Isaac's cake in the freezer and I ran out of green, so the gold shows on the sides, but here you have it!
His six year old privileges are to stay up a little later than the little boys and to listen to the big kids' chapter books. Brian always rereads The Chronicles of Narnia series when someone new hits this milestone, and as I write this they are already through the first book.
He got to open our gifts to him also when we got back from our trip. We got him a bag of mixed Legos, a Holy Heroes Saint story and a Holy Heroes DVD about the sacraments, a drawing book, and a sleep mask. He's been wanting all of those random things, so he was happy!
Our visitors arrived on the Friday after we arrived home and so it was a perfect time to make the cake and celebrate with them. Turned out to be even better because my nephew was turning 9 that very day that he arrived. So, cake for two boys!
