Cam and his elmo cake....he took the elmo car off right away..

and dug right in! YUM!

Cam and his new trike! Loved the balloons, too!

Because bouncing IS fun!! A game that ends in candy spilling out all over the ground... what could be better than that? Cam's cool riding bloks toy...thanks Frantie and Fruncle!

Hitting the pinata

We had such a great time!!!! We had to stop telling Cam his birthday party was coming up as he really has no concept of 'later' and so thought it was happening each time we mentioned it. Just like his sister, his favorite part of a party is the cake. So, each time we mentioned his birthday he blurted out "cake!". We had equal number of kids Cam's age and Ellie's age. So the games worked well for both. Cam played, but was much more content to just watch everyone else. His favorite was pin-the-star-on-the-Barney. He even liked the blindfold! He also like the eat-the-donut-from-the-string game, but decided it was just better to eat right out of the bag. The pinata was a little confounding to him. He knew there was candy inside. He seemed to understand if it got hit, the candy would fall out. But when he hit it.....it didn't come out! He'd hit it and then just stare at it....presumably waiting for the candy to just start falling. Once it did break up, he got right in there and got his share for sure. It was an exhausting day, but he had a super time! We all did. He is such a great gift from God. We couldn't love him more! Thank you for loving him, and all of us!, and for thinking of him on his special day. Birthdays are the best.
