Labor Day at our house always means birthday party! Both my Husband and my Youngest were born on Labor Day, but their birthdays are actually 2 days apart, so we always celebrate their birthdays the Sunday before Labor Day. Actually we usually celebrate my son's birthday, and Dad usually gets a pat on the back and a Happy Birthday and maybe a card or two. This year my Hubby reached the big 40! so we made an effort to celebrate his birthday, but in such a way that he didn't know it was coming. Can I say SUCCESS!
We lit the candles and wondered if we needed to call the fire dept. That was a lot of candles on the 2 cakes.
My son wanted an army party and he wanted camouflage clothes so no one could see him. He LOVES his new outfit and Dad had fun shopping for all of the accessories you see on his belt.
We didn't leave Dad out of the presents either. Black balloons, his own cake (yellow with chocolate frosting that he never gets) and a beer cake from his loving wife, but made by a good friend, who then snuck it in when she came over for the party.
The adult guests. We also had 3 teenage boys playing video games in the family room, and my Youngest and his 2 younger cousins playing in his bedroom. It was crowded, but alot of fun!
The cakes are all alight!
For his camo/army themed birthday party, I made him a camo cake, inside and tie-dyed on the outside. It was easier than it looked.
Well...another round of September birthdays in the books. Now to start planning for my Oldest, who will be 15 in November. Happy Birthday Boys!
