the sleppys

On Saturday, November 10th, we had a birthday party for Ty. I made the cake. Dad made the pizza sauce, and the guests ate homemade pizza with an array of vegetable and meat toppings. It was really fun, having his friends over – although two of them came over with a cough. We bought so much cheese and pizza dough, that we were eating pizza for days afterward. It was a small party with mostly family and only two friends (who were sick with cough).

Before we sang “Happy Birthday,” I made sure that everyone would sing on the same key. It turned out well.

Ty’s cake. He’s a whole hand old! That is the real size of his hand on the cake.

Wednesday was his real birthday, and he woke up to the sight of a brand new bike. We went outside in the morning to practice riding.

Later, we went to the park for a picnic. We ate sandwiches, fruit, and cupcakes.

Then we watched the children on the playground. We played a little hide-and-seek, took a family portrait, and left the park before the rain came.

While I was at work, Ty’s paternal grandmother, uncle, and cousin came over and gave him dinosaurs, a dictionary, and some “Cars” (Disney) toy cars. That evening, before the children went to bed, we sang “Happy Birthday” to Ty and ate ice cream cake.

We took down the birthday decorations in the house on Saturday, and that was the end of a week long celebration of five revolutions around the sun.
