Birthday Celebrations – Part II

Between Nate’s and my families, during the 9 days from February 9 to February 18, there are 7 birthdays: one son, two brothers, one sister, one sister-in-law, and two nephews. On Saturday, we went to a fun Nerf gun party for Nate’s nephew Connor. We played fun games and enjoyed yummy treats. Bennett stayed occupied picking up nerf bullets most of the time, and running around with his cousins.

On Sunday, we had my brother and sister over for dinner to celebrate their and Bennett’s birthdays. I wanted to take advantage of the fun cake decorating kit my mom gave me for Christmas so I decided to make another cake. We went for a soccer ball this time – mostly for Bennett (sorry Cam!). Bennett at least recognized it this time and kept pointing to the soccer cake. Bennett made a valiant effort to blow out his two candles on top of the soccer ball, but in the end I think he had some help from Dave and Cam.

(apparently he thinks he needs to keep an eye on Dave :)

Once again, Bennett didn’t actually want to eat any cake. He hasn’t been into sweets lately. However, he did have a lot of fun helping Liz feed his doggy some cake and saying “num num” with each bite.
