Lincoln is celebrating his birthday Sydni-style this year (meaning that we started on Sunday and will continue celebrating throughout the week until his actual birthday on the 10th). The reason for the early start is that Mom and Kerry will be out of town over Lincoln's birthday and on all the weekends close to it, so we had a party on Sunday so that they could celebrate with us. I made the invitations, and I think they came out pretty well. Aside from the fact that no standard envelope was the right size, but it all worked out because Aaron made envelopes. He's amazing ;)
Here's the sailboat cake we made. It was fun. And I learned how to make Fluffy Boiled Icing, which tastes great and doesn't have powered sugar or butter in it. Wow.
Linc was way better at opening his presents this year than he was last year. Now if Grandma would just lay off the tape a little we'd be in business. ;) He'll be a pro by Christmas though. Lincoln got a toy boat for the bathtub, an Apache helicopter (which he now takes to bed every night and at nap time. Funny story really quick, today I was putting him down for his nap and I couldn't find the helicopter, so I told him he'd have to sleep without it. Well, he threw a huge fit and was screaming bloody murder when I walked out the door. So I looked around a little and finally found the helicopter and took it in to his room. When I handed it to him, he immediately stopped crying and said, "Thanks Mom, goodnight." and layed down and I didn't hear another peep out of him.), the movie Oliver and Company, two little hand games to play in the car on the way to WA, a book with a flashlight that makes noise, a box of crayons, and ABC fridge magnets. He was thrilled with all of it.
Here's Linc blowing out the candles. He got both of them in about 3 tries. Not to shabby. And so the celebrating continues...
