Family Party

Corbin decided to have a friend party this year, but we still ended up making him an extra cake and celebrating with a family dinner on the Sunday before his birthday.

As has become a bit of a tradition with Corbin we ate breakfast for dinner and had a huge spread of pancakes, hash browns, eggs, sausage, bagels, fruit, cereal and juice.

Then since the party took most of our time and money, we decided to forgo getting him any presents from us this year and instead let him pick out a new Lego set to use as a cake topper.

I also special ordered those stupid rock-shaped jelly beans to make the cake look like a scene from the story and then saw that they carry them in the bulk section at our local grocery store.  Wasted efforts!

None the less, he liked the way it turned out, and even more importantly the way it tasted. (Minus the troublesome rock colored jellybeans, after all that, most of them got thrown away, as they tasted disgusting!)

He got spoiled with plenty of fun presents from his aunt and uncles, grandparents and cousins!

On a completely unrelated note, someone was having some drooling issues during the party that we all found pretty entertaining, laughing away at his his expense :)
