It all started Friday morning. Clive opened his birthday gift from the family. He didn't know what he wanted this year so we got him some socks. See how pleased he is?
Kelly made him a really cool card going with this years theme of Orcas.
Then we found another gift for him. A spy watch. Really cool if you know how to work it. Might know how this time next year.
That night we had carrot cake for dessert because it is Clive's favorite and I didn't think it would be great for his party. The recipe made a huge cake which I have been trying to give away. This would have been the weekend to drop in at the Fellows if you like cake. I also made thirty lemon cupcakes for his party.
Sunday morning, the morning of the party, Clive woke up sick. No surprises. He was sick at his party last year. Clive NEVER gets sick. Never misses school, but when he has a birthday party, he is sick. He pushed through though. Wasn't gonna miss a good time at the Duncan pool!
We brought all the boys back here for hot dogs and cupcakes. They were so sweet and polite! It was really enjoyable having these boys around. They were all having fun outside with David when I realized Clive was inside reading one of his new books. "Umm, Clive? This is your party and all of your friends are outside with your little brother. GO!"
Parents filtered in to pick up their sweet boys and the party was done.
Less cake next year.
Hello Elizabeth! I found your blog a while ago but forgot to add it to my reading list. So now I've done that and invite you to visit mine as well. :) I'm looking forward to meeting your boys! My oldest (Max) has also requested carrot cake for his birthday this year.
