Belated birthday pictorial


The day began with presents in bed. This birthday boy's mama was extremely happy she found sea creature-themed wrapping paper.

Followed by the obligatory photo by the wall shot on school days.

Then a school celebration - woot!

By then, the birthday boy was tuckered out.

We came home and decorated with balloons, ya'll!

Then I had to take a picture of Hen's sea-creature-themed cupcakes from Helen Bernhard's. (Sshhhh, I totally stole this idea from Amber.)

Hen choose the green octopus cupcake. (Photo taken by Amber)

A few days later, we had a family birthday celebration!

One cousin in attendance was Cousin Gavin.

Yeah, cake decorating isn't my forte but I'm still pleased considering I used plastic bags for the frosting since the pastry bag tips I have were far too large for such delicate things as sea creatures. By the way, that pink thing is both an octopus and a jellyfish.

Later that evening, sea creature play commenced with one ginormous but friendly octopus.

Oh, and there were a lot more photos taken than just these. You can view them here, if you feel so inclined.

Damn, you throw great birthday parties! I so wish we could have been there. The cupcake and cakes are adorable. And sea creature themed wrapping paper - you're an interest-honoring-mom show-off!
