Dresden

Well, it is official, my kids are getting old. Dresden had is 7th birthday on Friday so we had a weekend full of parties. Dresden invited a few of his friends to a Luau party at our house. It was crazy having 8 boys and 2 girls packed into our living room...the snow kept us from being outside. The kids were crazy, loud, funny, exhausting, and enjoyable! The party was a great success and we are just so grateful that Dresden has such great friends.
Happy Birthday, Dresden. We love you with all our hearts and are so happy that you are ours!
I have always tried to make a themed cake for the boys and this year was a bit of a challenge. I wasn't really sure how to make a volcano cake but I think it turned out o.k.

Here is Collin posing in the Hula girl stand-up. All the boys wanted their pictures taken as a hula girl.

Logan as the surfer dude.

One of the things we did at the party was have a hula hoop competition. I was surprised these kids could hula hoop. In fact, there were a couple boys that could have hula hooped all day if they had the opportunity.

You can't have a party without going through the spanking machine!

You and Larry did such a great job with the kids party. I was very lucky that I could just walk next door and watch on the side lines. The cake turned out so cute Shannon! I'm glad you wanted to make it yourself......it was the crowning jewel of the party!

Zack had a great time at the party! He loved the spear. The cake is great, you are creative to make their cakes. I always buy Zacks. :( Maybe I will have to be more daring next year. We'll see.

I can't believe how much effort you guys put into that party! Looks like Dresden and all the kids had a great time. We loved having you with us and can't wait to see you again in a couple months. Tell your boys we love them and miss them.
