Celebrate!

The boys helped make the cake. Marcus nearly gave me a heart attack when he reached for the beater after Ethan pushed the chair closer to the Kitchen Aid. It took nearly fifteen minutes for my heartbeat to get back to normal and for the adrenaline to fully leave my body.














Here's the super fabulous dinosaur cake, complete with built up muscular legs and arms (in other words, more frosting).


















We wanted to keep the party simple, so we just invited the grandparents. Here's Brian, his dad, and Ethan playing the Wii. Marcus just thinks the remote tastes yummy. (On a side note: Marcus loves to play Wii Fit. He'll stand on the board, look at the tv, and just smile.)









Alyssa and Ethan helped Marcus open his present from Grandma and Grandpa Jacks.













He was excited.














Yep, he was happy.


















He approved of the cake.














It took just a moment














or two














and then he knew exactly what to do.














After cake, Alyssa and Ethan enjoyed doing a puzzle with my mom.













And as much as Marcus liked the present, he loves the box.

What an adorable Cake! It really is super cute. Good job. That rainbow stacker does look fun. That might need to be on Vincent's Christmas or Birthday list. Hmm.
Your mom looks just the same. I love grandparents!
