Right after breakfast Ethan asked if he could please at least open the letter from Grandma Val and Grandpa John. (The rest of his gifts had not yet been wrapped.) His generous gift was a $25 check. Later in the afternoon we went to the bank to cash it.
Amber used her money and bought Ethan a package of "dessert" gum. It's a new thing. Amber has had the key lime pie and one other. This one is mint chocolate chip.
Ian decided to make his gift big and heavy ... as you may have guessed, it was not a big and heavy gift!
Out came the extra paper for stuffing ...
... next came the hand weights ...
... and then the small CD. It was something he has been asking for for quite a while. The music from his favorite movie ...
How to Train Your Dragon!
Evyn gave him a little black and white cat ... a Webkinz. He has a bit of a cat collection going on. As he's allergic to real cats, this is the next best thing for him.
Daryn and I gave him the rest of his gifties: a tablet of paper, followed by this book on how to draw dragons.
We also gave him a new deck of Magic cards,
as well as some booster packs. I also made him some shrinky dink markers (they are in his hand). Ian helped me select the pictures to put on the markers. He was thrilled.
We are also members of the Barnes and Noble Kids Club. They sent a coupon in our e-mail for a free cookie. Off we went to Silverdale ... he wanted to have his free cookie. He also got a book of his choice.
Later in the afternoon his friend, Ely Dawson, came by to play and give his gift ... a dragon!
Lastly, his cake; lemon with vanilla frosting and chocolate piping. I was also lucky enough to find this dragon earlier in the day when I went for "French Vanilla" ice cream (his request).
The presentation of the cake ...
... could he be any more excited????
I was so glad he was happy with his cake!
Make a wish, blow out the candles, and don't talk while you eat your cake! (Otherwise your wish won't come true!)
