Colin's 8 Birthday Party

Colin had a Lego-themed birthday party this year. Unfortunately, most of the guests couldn't come at the last minute, but fun was still had by all! (I guess this is one problem with severely limiting the guest list.)

I made an orange Lego brick cake, which went over well. When I was asking Colin what color cake he wanted, Nate responded "Clear! Cuz that's the coolest brick color!" Thankfully, Colin was a bit more realistic and went for orange.

We had goody bags filled with Lego bricks chosen from the open bins at the Lego store. We were going to play games with the Legos, but the kids ended up playing Wii instead.

To see more cakes I've made: Colin's Volcano cake, Nate's pool cake, Nate's bulldozer

pool cake

This was Nate's 4th birthday cake. He requested a "pool cake."

I think he thought it was as cool as Colin thought his volcano cake was. I wasn't so sure it was going to happen, but I think I pulled it out pretty well at the end. I think you have to click on it to get the full effect.

I will post more pictures of him from his birthday tomorrow.

(If you never saw the volcano cake, click here for a picture.)

Colin's Volcano Cake

Colin requested a volcano cake for his birthday back in June. His birthday is in November. He never forgot . . . and neither did I. Here's my 5 year old boy with his volcano cake, made by Mom.
