Happy Birthday David! Here’s his long awaited race car cake. This was my first cut out cake, and now I know next time to use a really dense cake, instead of this fluffy one. It was almost impossible to frost, as everytime I tried it started falling apart! Overall, I think it turned out OK. David sure liked it.
Here’s us singing “Happy Birthday” to him. I also put this one in for those who’ve been asking for a recent pregnant picture of me. It’s not the best, since I’m wearing a sweater, but maybe I’ll have Knut take a profile one to post soon.
He enjoyed having 4 of his great-grandparents at his party. He has 3 more in Arizona who I’m sure would have loved to have made it. Can you imagine being blessed with so many great-grandparents?
Here he is opening up his present from Grammy and Papa. He was very serious about opening his presents. We’ve been so spoiled with Silje who automatically reads every word on every card before even thinking about opening the rest of the gift. She remembers what everyone gives her even a year later. She’ll pull out a top from her “big box” (where clothes go that are too big for her) and say “I remember when ______ gave this to me for Christmas!” David on the other hand, isn’t so automatically polite. He had no interest in even looking at a card, which drove Silje crazy during the gift opening, and she kept putting them in his face. Secondly, whenever he opened up a clothing item, he would throw it out of the box/bag and look under it. Then he would look up in desperation and shout: “Where’s the toy!!!” More typical kid, I suppose, but we’ll have to work on our manners before Christmas, I think.
Here’s David with his pride and joy. He got the speed racer from Mommy and Daddy, and Lightening McQueen from Grandma and Grandpa. He hasn’t been seperated from either since he’s gotten them. We don’t let him sleep with them, but I’m sure he would, given the chance.
Here’s more of the party. Silje and David’s cousin Kaeden was there, as well as Grandma and Grandpa Ronnevik, Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Madsen, Oldefar (Norwegian for GG) and Great-Grandma Ronnevik (She thinks Oldemor sounds silly) Aunt Rondi, (Uncle Chris had to work) Uncle Lars, and Lars’ girlfriend Molly.
I’m not sure who has more fun with balloons at our parties, the great-grandparents or the kids. Keeping a balloon in the air is a favorite party game at our house, and they all seem to enjoy it!
It was a very fun day!
