Talmage has been counting down to his birthday since well before Halloween. It was so hard to wait through all of the holidays and then we counted down every day in February until his birthday on the 12th. At breakfast he ripped into his presents from us: Legos from mom and dad, candy and a paper fire engine from Abi. He has become a real Lego maniac since Christmas.
That evening we had a family birthday party with our Nana's, Papa, aunts, uncles and cousins. Tal had requested a Transformer cake; mom did her best. It took 2 tries but the starwberry chocolate chip cake was a hit.
On Saturday Tal got to have a friend party. It of course was also Transformers. We decorated party bags, played some games and whacked the obligatory pinata. (You have to have a pinata at a Meek birthday.) Tal recieved some really nice presents from his friends: Levi, Nathan, Tanner and Riley. Thanks to Kris the chaos was well controlled.
After pizza and soda we had Transformer cupcakes which Tal had helped me bake and decorate the day before. You can tell I really outdid myself this year :) Thanks for the dollar store.
