Patrick's 7th Birthday Party

Patrick is turning 7 and we celebrated his birthday today.


He wanted a pirate theme, so I made him a German Chocolate cake in the shape of a treasure chest, with graham cracker sand and ocean cupcakes with gummy fish. I wouldn't have chosen German Chocolate for him, but it is exactly what he wanted so thats what he got.

Uncle John and Aunt Jessica (with William) got him Taters of the Lost Arc. He was so excited about that. He has wanted it since we first saw it at Target. They also bought him his first CD The Jonas Brothers.


A couple of months ago I wrote to Pixar and told them how much the kids love their movies and asked if John Lasseter would send us an autograph. He did with two beautiful pictures of Toy Story 1 and 2. We are so grateful for the autographs...Patrick just knows that someday he will make a movie with Pixar.

We had a wonderful time getting together with the family. It was also a way for us to use our pool. Patrick had a great time. He also got his first CD Player. His Dad set it up in his room and now the music of High School Musical 2 and the Jonas Brothers can be heard from his room. Grandma and Grandpa were nice enough to get him a t-shirt for the new Power Rangers Jungle Fury. He loves it and is already wearing it through the house. They also got him the Jungle Fury figurines as well as Legos. Patrick loves Legos. He loves to build things. All in all it was a great party

Jen, what a cute cake! Remember when you and Jonathan had a pirate birthday with cute treasure chest cakes? I remember all those early birthday parties due to my mom's good , organized photo albums. We were all so cute and little! It is great to see all those traditions carry on!
