Not surprisingly Drake wanted to be just like Taryn and go to As You Wish for his birthday. So after McDonald's for lunch we headed over to paint some pottery. The kids had fun painting their creations and I enjoyed watching them, watching their concentration, and watching Taryn get so mad when she couldn't make a straight line and then trying to blame it on everyone else.
I love Ben curled up on Taryn's shoulder...
After painting pottery and Drake's favorite dinner, pizza, my parents came over for ice cream and presents. My dad came in with a very special gift for Drake...a phone book. It was supposed to be a joke that my parents got him book sitting on our front porch but Drake was SOO excited about HIS phone book...we all couldn't stop laughing. He and Taryn were immediately looking up everything they could think of...why in the world did I buy him any presents? The best gift was free at my front door.
When we were at Costco the day before we sampled this tropical sorbet...Drake loved it and insisted we get it for his birthday...so we did this instead of a cake, it was fun and super yummy!!
Blowing out the candles...for the third time...
6 down...many more to go...
