The "B" Family

Mmmmmm......what to say about this family.   Throughout the whole session as the gang was getting a little rowdy and as words were being exchanged (all in good fun, of course) a particular family member kept reminding everyone to watch out what they were doing as I write about each session when I post the photos.  But I'll be nice.  I won't write about people getting pushed in the snow, tripped, called names and so on.  We did have a lovely afternoon, even though the weather was a little on the cold side.  We have been waiting for a decent day to do this session for quite a while so we were thankful the weather was as warm as it was.  Good thing we snuck these photos in as the temperature seemed to drop an hour after our session was finished.  Thanks for braving the elements to do the photos outside.  I'm so glad you did!

The Party!

We decided to go with a Rainbow Mario theme for "T's" 5th birthday party.  I didn't think I could attempt a Mario cake so I made rainbow cake pops and a rainbow cake instead.  We topped things off with some of "T's" favorites.....Extreme Cheddar Fish Crackers, Fruit, Popcorn and Jellybeans!

 The cake looked very plain on the outside, but the inside was the fun part!

 We used some of "T's" Mario friends to decorate the table.

 This was the second time I attempted cake pops and I think they were much more successful.  I'll definitely make them again.

This is the birthday boy, not to be confused with Luigi from Mariocart!

 He thought the costume fit with the theme so he had to wear it.  Why not?!?

"T" Turns Five!

This weekend has been all about celebrating "T".  Today was his magic birthday so we spent the day eating his favorite foods, having a party at Build-A-Bear with friends, watching his favorite show and just being together.  Last week I took "T" to the park to document him as a five year old.  The weather finally was a wee bit warmer (not much though) and he was actually an unusually good sport this time around.  In the final end, there just was something about the photos that didn't seem quite right to me.  So....

 .....I tied a red scarf on him for color one day when he was playing outside and everything was MUCH better!
