Elliott wanted a campout party this year for his birthday. Brian said he would campout with them so we went for it. It was tons of fun even though it turned into a "camp-IN" party. The mercury dipped into the lower 40s that night so they all camped in the loft. The boys were disappointed for a few minutes and then got over it and played TRON with the glow sticks I gave them.
We ordered pizza and ate out in the blustery wind.
They made trail mix. This was a last minute thought on my part, but they really enjoyed doing it and it gave them something to snack on and they had plenty to take home the next day too.
One of Elliott's friends had a 3DS that took 3-D pictures (very cool), and he was quite the photographer while Elliott was opening presents :)
Okay, so I really like to make their birthday cakes. I just enjoy coming up with the ideas and seeing how it all plays out. I don't do it every year, and I figured I might not be able to this year. But I had found a camping cake that looked really easy that I was going to do. So I asked Elliott what kind of cake he wanted, and he said a cookie cake. Really?! So disappointed not to be able to decorate the camping cake, but in reality this was the best scenario cause I did NOT have the energy to even BAKE a cake, let alone decorate one. But I did build a tent out of graham crackers and a campfire out of pretzels and candy corn. That counts, right?
