Caleb's Birthday

We had Caleb's birthday party today. We decided to keep it simple and have family up. I'm thinking a "friends" birthday party is in store for next year....we'll see how ambitious I'll be! Caleb was very insistent about a police car birthday cake. He even said it "has to be black and white with sirens (lights)." I managed to get a decent replica made! But boy...that black frosting is a doozy! It was EVERYWHERE when I was decorating. And...you should have seen the kids' teeth after they ate it. Oh wait, you can see the teeth...just watch the slideshow below! Caleb was very spoiled this year. He got a Clifford toy/DVD from Grandma 'Nita and Grandpa Bing...could be his favorite cartoon! Great Aunt Shelby and Great Uncle Tim got him some Hotwheels...he almost didn't want to open any more presents after that. Then...Aunt Brooke and our nieces picked out a TON of "Cars" stuff...again, perfect choices for him! Great Grandma Betty got him a bunch of animal videos...I think he had three of them watched before bedtime. Grandpa Mick and Grandma Sandy got him a puzzle and put an extension onto his swing set that they built two years ago. Uncle Tyler and Aunt Dani got him a game...it looks like a lot of fun to play. We ended up giving him a tool bench with tools, a T-ball set and a bike. He'll have to grow into the bike a bit, but he's growing so fast, I don't think it will take long!

The kids were up at 6am this morning, didn't take naps because of all the people that were here, and ate a TON of sugar. They were almost delirious by bedtime. Caleb started laughing and couldn't stop. He literally couldn't stop. I've never heard him laugh that long or that hard. Of course, the rest of us kept laughing then too!
