This past Saturday we had a joint birthday party for the boys with our families. We were celebrating Carson's 3rd birthday (Nov. 1st) and Andrew's 5th birthday (Nov. 16th). This may be the last year for this joint party - this is the third year we have done this. This year Andrew started asking about having his own party and inviting friends....so we shall see.
We had a fire truck themed party. Cake decorating does not come easy to me. I found a video on the internet showing how to make this fire truck cake. I thought it turned out pretty good and the boys liked it - and that is what matters most.
Above you will find a collage of pictures from the day (click on it to make it larger).... the decorations (which seemed to be pretty important to one little boy inparticular this year), the cake, snuggling and watching TV with Uncle Justin prior to party time, the wild present opening, Carson's bashful/snuggle moment with Mom, the candle blowing, eating cake, family and playing with all the new toys.
After events like this, I find myself wishing I had taken more pictures. There wasn't a single picture of Chad or many of the other family that was here. I just don't like snapping pictures all the time but then end up wishing I had. Plus much of the time I was doing something (preparing food, helping unwrap gifts, getting the cake ready, washing dishes - you get the idea)
We all had a great time! Thanks for making the boys' Birthday special and so much fun!!!

Kristi, great job on the cake! It looks fantastic!
Looks like fun! I think the cake looks great. :) I hear you about the picture thing too - I felt the exact same way after Benjamin's party. And we didn't have any of Eben either! He was the one taking most of the picture taking while I did the other busy work. Ah well, next time...
