After spending the morning at the Science Center, we all went back to our house for a family dinner and birthday party to celebrate Joey turning 9 years old!

Joey got lots of great presents. I think the big hit was this digital camera from Aunt Wendy and Uncle Sean. The look on his face in this photo says it all. He was SO excited!

When we'd asked Joey what kind of cake he wanted, he was very specific. He even drew us a picture with a cross-section diagram. He wanted and ice cream cake with chocolate cake with chocolate chip ice cream. And he wanted the icing to look like a map of the world. It was a tall order, but I think he was pleased with the results:


We normally don't let Simon have sweets, but since it was a special occasion, we have him a tiny sliver of cake. Simon devoured it, smeared icing all over the place, and eventually not only licked his plate clean, but then tried to eat the plate! Let this next photo be a warning to you: a sugar buzz isn't always pretty.
