| Birthday snack time |
For birthday dinner, we had fish sticks and french fries and mashed potatoes and peas and Fish Bowl Gelatin. The news of dinner was greeted by two boys running around the room yelling, "Fish sticks and french fries! Fish sticks and french fries!" etc. until I could get the food on the table.
Fish Bowl Gelatin did not turn out quite right even though I used three different containers and slightly different methods.
 |
| My gelatin was so dark blue you could hardly see the fish after all. |
 |
| There they are; it's kind of a churny ocean. |
 |
| This is very calm waters; the sharks are gathered together for moral support. |
Dinner was short, of course.
We soon found ourselves in the living room for cake and presents (normally we wouldn't have cake in the living room, but this way Erik could see via video call).
 |
| This is going to lead to hours of fun - thanks Grandma Lucy! |
 |
| Xander picked out these neat candles. They are pretty colors themselves and their flames burn three different colors at once! |
 |
| I think you know what this one is. |
 |
| Daddy was there! |
 |
| Fish has been dissected |
 |
| Mr. Potato Head |
 |
| Xander was happy to help. |
 |
| pop-up bug book from Grandma Bonnie was a huge hit |
 |
| So far, he's pretty careful handling it... |
 |
| big activity book! |
 |
| Xander agreed to try to tie a knot after Erik said he believed in him. |
 |
| Still working but getting really close |
 |
| Lacing beads: another one that big brother already likes to borrow |
 |
| Woo hoo! A musical card from Grandpa Larry and Grandma Alla |
What a nice birthday celebration we had with you, Nick!
