Karen (aka Noah)'s Birthday

Yeah, so maybe it was technically Karen's birthday this weekend - but in true grandma tradition - she stepped aside in order to celebrate grandson Noah's birthday that would be taking place next week. Celebrating youth is just a lot of fun, so why not? I mean, look at that cake? A cake for me that awesome at my age would just be silly, right? But for Noah it just makes sense.
Noah prepares to blow that candle out with vigor.
SUCCESS! He enjoyed us singing to him and blowing out the candle that he wanted us to relight and do it again. We did...and then he stuck his hand on the candle and got burned hard. After 10 minute break for crying, we were back to blowing out candles and smiles.
But let's all remember that Karen is special too - even if she is older than Noah. If she wasn't this old, she wouldn't be a grandma, right? And she's a killer grandma from what I can tell (even if she did give Noah jeans, which he quickly rejected). She's also a killer aunt and I have always enjoyed talking with her. She is loved.
Back in Noah world, he prepares for cake consumption.
Apparently this cake needed some additional construction - and Noah was prepared to do the work.
He is also a master of serving ice cream. Then it was present time and his joy was full. He retired to bed to watch Finding Nemo with his new Finding Nemo action figures. Could life get any better?
Happy birthday to both of you. Thanks for letting us party with you.

Noah's cake is way cool! I bet it was very tasty too. Wish I could have been there for the b-day celebration :)

It is an amazing cake. Could it have come from Parsons? How cute is the picture of Karen and Jeff?
