Big B Turns 7

Brendan is thrilled to finally be 7. We celebrated his birthweek with Bakugan (favorite toy of 2009), custom food requests (macaroni & cheese with a giant chocolate chip cookie for dessert), and a homemade volcano eruption. Thanks to grandmas and grandpas for thoughtful gifts; and to Shannon and Mitch for the Bakugan battle pack... it was a hit!

You can see how surprised he was to receive the battle pack from Mitch and Shan:


The larger than life cookie:


It took us a week to construct this volcano out of salt dough and stippled paint. We used good ol' baking soda with colored vinegar for the eruption (we even put little plastic dinosaurs and fake greenery in for fun):



With buddy Taylor:


Happy Birthday to a special boy! We love you.

And WHOA! You did not tell me how cool that Volcano was. It looks awesome! Can I request one for my next bday?
