Caleb turns Nine!

Caleb turned nine last week!  Which means my blog is almost nine as well.  It has been a very long time since Caleb has had a "friend party" for his birthday and that was his special request.  He wanted to have a Toothless cake, watch How to Train Your Dragon 2, and shoot our model rocket.

Unfortunately HTTYD2 doesn't come out on DVD until November, so he settled for watching the How to Train Your Dragon.

The cake was easy!

I have not seen HTTYD2, but in HTTYD1, Toothless shoots fire from his mouth like a normal dragon.  In the shorts, his main weapon is to shoot blue plasma, so we stuck a blue rock candy in his mouth - the toy actually shoots a little projectile, so there was a hole in his mouth.

Movie time :)

Somehow we did not get any pictures of the rocket launches!  The boys had so much fun :)  Two of C's friends brought their sisters, and the girls were less impressed, but they had fun playing Frozen and turning cartwheels.

On Caleb's real birthday we had the leftover pieces of the cake (I cut it up to fit it into a container).

We also went to the zoo.  He bought a camera with some birthday money.  I told him he should do a guest blog post about our visit.

My big boy is big help!

It is such a joyful thing to celebrate your own child's birth.  I am so thankful for Caleb. :)
