Happy Birthday Buddy!

My Oldest Boy Orion celebrated his 4th birthday on 26th July 2010!! We had a fun family play time at the park with some friends, blowing bubbles, sliding on the slides, opening presents and eating cake. His favorite present was his new bike of course, and he refused to take the helmet off lol. Anyway so when asked what he wanted his birthday cake to be he said "I just want a slide Mom." Great! A slide, how the heck was I going to pull that one off with what I had in the house? I'll tell ya how... I made the cake he had picked out (Confetti cake) and whipped up some butter cream frosting. Crushing Gram crackers and mixing in yellow sugar sprinkles I made a "sandbox". The teeter-todder is a Gram cracker and Tootsie roll, the toy ball is a small jaw breaker. And the slide? A stick of celery with dum-dum sucker posts! And surprisingly enough both Orion and his friend ate some of the slide WOOT! He loved the cake and I was glad I was able to make his cake wish come true.
