After Justin's birthday in February, Hyrum begged me to make the same cake for his birthday, only he didn't want the cake, just the frosting. However, the rest of us really love the whole cake so he got both.
We overdosed on the ooey gooey goodness of the cake . . .
while Hyrum was completely content to lick his way to a frosting sugar high.
LeRoy was thrilled to FINALLY have a sport themed birthday for one of his kids. It only took 25 years but he now has his football and basketball loving boys.
Hyrum felt that being a whopping nine years old meant he could light his own birthday candles. It took a little skilled suggestion from Justin but he got it done.
Daymia and Levi went straight to his list of favorites and gave him candy and money.
LeRoy and I gave him the much anticipated and hoped for Wolverine claws (which caused a bust of laughter when the two outside fingers collapsed down but the middle finger didn't) and a football that we all signed in metallic silver permanent marker.
Cousin Max was so thoughtful to consider Hyrum's love for building when he sent a set of wood pieces with instructions that he created all on his own. Hyrum was impressed and ready to build.
My favorite part of birthdays is seeing my kids celebrate together and love on one another.
