More birthdays!

It was a great time to have a baby, because the kids had Friday and Monday off of school! It was nice to be all at home and enjoy being a family.  Monday was Bucko's birthday and Tuesday was Goofy's, so we had the family crew over for cake and ice cream Monday afternoon. 

We did two cakes, of course.  Bucko had the cookies 'n cream cake and Goofy had pistachio nut cake.  (Now I know I said before that I don't like cake, but these two--along with Nana's triple chocolate bundt cake--are the exceptions!)

 Bucko's expressions always crack me up.  In the top left, he's smiling because he got money from Nana and Papa in his card.  Top right:  he's so excited because he got a Pokeball from his cousins.  He had asked for one for his birthday but PC had put his foot down and told him no Pokemon!  Bottom left:  He just opened his football from us and Uncle Dan told him that it has fire flames when you throw it.  The box has flames on it, so he apparently believed him for a few seconds, as you can tell by his excited/shocked face!  The last one, bottom right: he has been asking for an electric scooter since last summer.  We decided to get him one, but had to order it and it wasn't here, so we just put a picture in the card and explained. He didn't seem to mind having to wait.  He was so happy with all of it, he put his hands in the air and said, "Best birthday ever!" 

We let Goofy open his present from his cousins on Monday (a Cars bath set he was super excited about) but made him wait until Tuesday for the rest of his presents.  Minnie and Bucko like to help out, as you can see.  Goofy has been asking for a Spiderman webshooter since Christmastime. He was so excited to get it. I also found a Spiderman racing car, which he also loves.  His last present was roller blades.  He was very happy with all of them!  And I'm glad we have a month until the next birthday in the family! It will be here all too soon though!
