Happy Birthday!

We celebrated John's birthday Tuesday, about 2 weeks early. He'll be on a trip on his birthday. Here's what happened.

Fancy wrapping paper!

Luci gave John a prized possession--one of her princess slippers. Unfortunately for John, she took it right back.
Everyone gets to pick out the kind of cake they want--John loves German chocolate cake. All Feingold approved, of course! It's short because the other layer has plain chocolate icing. We have some picky kids. Everyone was happy this way. What--you think there aren't enough candles?! John blew out the candles and then Luci was upset--she didn't get to help, so we lit them again. It's ages until her birthday and it is so hard to wait when you are only three.
The boys got John a Password game and "Yut-zee," as Luci calls it.
We all had fun playing the games.
