Dale had a birthday!

And it took 4 days to celebrate!

We started with a family party, complete with volcano cake, per Dale's request, at the suggestion of a certain genius, which prevented me from having to come up with yet another cake designed around cars and/or racing. Whew.

Dale and I were both pretty pleased with how the volcano turned out!
Then, of course, there were presents.

I'm not sure Dale liked any of them.


What do you think?


And then yesterday we had a little cupcake gathering with Dale's friends.

Look what our
awesome friends/landlords/neighbors set up... a gigantic water slide!
They bought it as a birthday gift for one of their kids a few years ago, and it comes out fairly often for summer birthdays. We were honored for it to be set up for Dale's!
Alan has been enjoying all the birthday festivities.
I'm sure he's taking notes so he knows juuuust what to expect when his comes around in November. I just hope he doesn't ask for a water slide! Brrr!


Another year is past, along with another party (or two). And now my firstborn is SIX!!!

Dale does not appear to be the least bit interested in any of those presents. ;) That is one big cake!
