A fun time for all




The boys all had a great time at the party! They enjoyed pizza and an ice cream birthday cake that I made with the Betty Crocker Bake and Fill set. The boys gave the cake pans to me for a gift over a year ago and I hadn't used them so it was fun getting that out and trying it out for the first time. I had hoped to have time to turn the cake into a baseball, but it took longer that I expected so that didn't happen. It wasn't hard to use at all, but somewhat time consuming since it was the first time using the pans. Truthfully, probably the real reason is because I spent my day cleaning the house, and just a small amount of time on the cake:) He had a chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream - pretty yummy.
Reid really enjoyed all of his fun gifts! Lots of fun Pokemon stuff which is always a favorite with him. Also a Lacrosse set that they already played with last night and today and a Blockbuster gift card, which he is excited about going and renting a fun game or movie.
They really enjoyed mini-golf this morning. We will need to go again another day and try out some of the other attractions there. They have bumper boats and go carts the boys really want to try out.
Reid really does have a great group of buddies - they are all nice kids and we were so glad they could share in his special day.

It looks like it was a fun party! Good job at making the birthday cake! I am thinking about taking the cake decorating class they have at Michael's. I need to improve me skills! :)
