Birthday Boy

Cody turned four,where does the time go? I asked him what it means to be four and he said, "Because I don't cry." Other things include he is big and he can draw circles.

For his cake this year we went and looked at cakes at Walmart and he announced to everyone that he was getting a Dragon cake. But not just any dragon cake, the black one with the boy on it-the How to Train Your Dragon cake. I decided against buying it at the store but this meant there was pressure. In the past, my cakes have been...random. I got smart this time and called for help from my friend, Hailey. She's good. Very good. So, this is the result:

Toothless! I made the fish and some of the moss:)! Oh, and the actual cake inside.

Cody blew the candles out before we could sing and I couldn't get the lighter to work again. He got the job done though!

I love that his shirt is too short in his birthday pictures, it shows how much he has grown in the last year. He just got that shirt for Christmas and it's already too small.

I made him a dragon cape for his birthday, but he won't wear it and says he doesn't like it. He's too honest. Macey was kind enough to model it and I'm going to try to convince him one of these days to wear it!:)

He LOVES his presents from his grandmas and has been fully and completely entertained since he opened them.

I had no idea what a commitment it would be to make a cake, but this was the result:

There was also some poop smeared all over Macey's room, courtesy of Macey.

It reminds me of another birthday before this. Actually, it probably happens at every birthday, but I documented these two!

We love you little (BIG) man!
