Birthday party time!

Timothy had a sleepover party planned again this year.  He was supposed to go skiing with a friend and then have another friend meet at our house later.  Well, skiing was cancelled after a 70 degree day--hard to keep the snow.  And then one of his friends was sick all week.  But, Timothy decided to go ahead with the party and we made the best of it!  (And this way he gets another party in a week or two so both friends can spend the night!)

We let Timothy open a family Christmas gift a little early.  Our computer has not kept up with his gaming, so we splurged on a new computer that works for online games.  Timothy was quite surprised and happy for the upgrade.

He wanted a cookie cake again this year.  I chose the Pokémon theme for him and added some frosting along the edges with sprinkles.  It is a pretty big cake, but we cut some to freeze for party #2!

To make the sleepover more of a party, we planned some minute to win it games.  You don't need a lot of people to have fun with these games.  One game had the boys unwrapping gifts with oven mitts on.  Another had them trying to stack marshmallows with chopsticks.  Some of the games were really hard like dropping a candy cane onto a string!  The boys had a lot of fun.

Even with our small party, we had to sing to Timothy and have him blow out his candles!  It was a fun night and I am sure party #2 will be good too!

It's upside down, but I think it is cute the pieces the boys wanted from the cake!
