Happy Birthday, Patrick!

Friday was Patrick's birthday. We all enjoyed our birthday party at home with dinner, presents, and the firetruck cake that they really wanted to make for him. It took a lot of our day to do this cake project, but that's what Leyton & Nathaniel really wanted, so we did it. I think they enjoyed it. They picked chocolate cake to make, yet they haven't eaten any bites of actual cake (Leyton meticulously scrapes off only the frosting; Nathaniel picks around at the cake & frosting, but I doubt he eats even 2 bites - always been his style with some of these sweet desserts - we feel safe giving him as big of a piece as he wants because we know he never eats it - no different this time). Jacob enjoyed the cake, too, but really just plays with it; maybe he ate a little. Fine with us - then we don't have to cut them off or tell them no about the cake all the time! I think Patrick had a nice day. We gave him shirts, a book, and a CD (Highwaymen - has Johnny Cash so the boys were excited as they really like Johnny Cash). That just gave me an idea on the next post - the Johnny Cash update.
