So proud with his presents on his birthday (March 7). These are his gifts from mom & dad, Arlan, and Grandma & Grandpa. Arlan is particularly fond of the Lincoln Logs Landon received from his good friends Madison & Douglas!
The Birthday Party! We had Landon's party on Sat the 5th, with 8 guests :-) It was the first real 'party party' we'd had, usually it's just a few kids and it was more about us adults. This time I actually planned some games and fun. Like "Spin the Bottle" (with a beer bottle no less!). Spinning the bottle is how we determined whose gift Landon would open, and also each guest got a small present as well.
Then it was time for cake. Landon decided on Wednesday that he wanted a Transformers cake -- so voila! It was one of the easier of the character cakes I've made actually, and I think it turned out well.
Landon was so excited to receive so many gifts: Hotwheels, Transformers (his favourite right now), and lots and lots of LEGO! In fact, Landon took his birthday money from Great Grandpa and bought even more lego!! He has now discovered that we can take the lego apart and rebuild each piece, so I think he'll be more content with what he has (versus begging to go out and buy more lego EVERY day!).
Oh yeah - Landon also got a RC truck. He and Arlan spent the days immediately following his birthday racing the truck and Arlan's Bounceback racer around and around and around the house. come to think of it, haven't seen them racing for a few days (ah peace!).
