Pictures from Peters day

Here are just a few pictures from Peters little family birthday gathering on Saturday. We grilled out hot dogs and hamburgers and had fruit salad and pasta salad. It was nice, just the family and gram and papa and Pooty(Oliver the cat). We are going to be having a little party later on this summer for him and Finn combined at Monkey Joes with church and school friends.


His cake with 8 candles. We got his cake from Dairy Queen and had them put a Transformers Optimus Prime Edible Image on it. He would have preferred Bumblebee, but beggars cant be choosers.His cake was half chocolate and half vanilla with a fudge crunch center.





Peter opening a bunch of Transformer related presents: slotted paper robot figures(you piece them together like those styrofoam planes)




.


And Yes, Transformers UNDERWEAR!!





He also got a Transformers T-shirt with a SONG in it. There is a special button you push on the T-shirt and the Transformers Theme song plays. "Transformers, more than meets the eye. Transformers, robots in disguise. Autobots wage the battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons" So now he will have his own personal theme music wherever he goes!




Peter licking of the last vestiges of frosting from his candles. I think everyone does that on their birthday. I remember seeing my dad do that from one of his cakes when i was little and I thought it was a pretty cool idea, so I started doing it too. I think it is just one of those things, like turning frosted mini-wheats frosted side up in your bowl. You dont know why, you just do it.


Well Pooty was feeling left out and wanted to open presents too, so he dove into the tissue paper and shredded it to bits, leaving a nice little heaping mess all over the rug.




Finn wanted in on the candle action as well, so he purloined one of Peters candles and sucked off every trace of sugary goodness...and some wax.

I love his mischievous smile in that first pic! Like he's thinking "can't wait to get to that frosting!!"

Haha...too cute!!!

And yes, even we suck off the frosting off the candles at my Mom's for our birthdays (how old are we?). It's a non-age bound treasure, I tell ya!

Very cute pics...I always tasted burning hot candle wax, so i've never suggested to my kids to lick the candles.

I'm a candle sucker, too. That cat, by the way, looks very entertaining. I'm sure HE wouldn't hiss and bite me.
