Cake Eaters

Seven years!!!  My oh my, how time flies.  My little man is seven years old!  We started the celebrations Saturday night with our traditional dinner at TGI Fridays.  Then, Sunday we had a little party since Linsey was up.  Jeremy was quite excited, I still am not quite sure about his wardrobe choices:

But he felt like he was dressed to the nines, so the party began.  He was adorned with gifts and hugs from everyone.





Then we had some cake:

Little back story, about a month ago, Jeremy informed me that there were some boys in his class that got cell phones for Christmas and that he thought that it was time that he got a cell phone.  In my mind I was thinking (First Graders!!  With Cell Phones!!!  What are their parents names and I will just have a little talk with them.  I mean seriously, who gives a first grader a cell phone!!!)  But I just smiled and informed him that he wasn't responsible enough for a phone quite yet.  I'm hoping that explanation will fly at least until he is 16, we'll see though.  So when he saw the cell phone cake at the store, he begged me to get it for him.  So I snatched it up and told him that the phone on the cake was the closest he was getting to a real cell phone for several years.
Anyhoo, the kids were all quite excited for some birthday cake, and in keeping with tradition, they hall took off their shirts and sat at the table anxiously waiting for the sugar rush that was about to ensue:
 
I don't know what it is, but birthday cake tastes better than just about any cake.  Even carrot cake tastes better if it is a birthday carrot cake.  Man, I LOVE birthdays.
