On Sunday, we celebrate Andrew's second birthday and Avery's 12th birthday with the Humphries at our home. There is such a difference in age and gender that is difficult to find a theme that would appeal to the both of them.
Kieran, Avery's mom, sent me a picture of the cake she would be making and I went from there. I made a banner for the fireplace mantle that reads "Happy birthday wild one" and decorated the food table with that theme in mind.
Andrew, of course, loved the cow. He loves looking for them in the field at the end of our road and shouting "mooooo."
He received a lot of clothes, several books and a 4-in-1 travel system that converts from a stroller into a tricycle.
He would not get off his new ride, so he ended up blowing his birthday candle sitting on his radio flyer scooter.
Birthday 'interview' questions:
