Riley's brilliantly decorated cake.........On Wednesday it was Brad's birthday so we decided that it would be a nice family tradition to celebrate with dinner and cake on the person's actual birthday (even though it was a school night). The night before Brad chose the meal that he would like for dinner, Great Grandma Kilah skeddies (a bit of a family favourite - even Emily loves it). I baked a cake and iced it and when Riley came home from school he set about decorating it. Riley then set the table with some leftover party things from his birthday last year (this might explain the spiderman themed tableware haha). When Brad got home from work we had the table set up with a little bit of party food as a treat before dinner. So we all had some treats (very quickly as it was fast approaching dinner time) and then had our yummy skeddies. Emily was getting very tired very fast and so we did the presents, both kids sat with Daddy and 'helped' him to open his gifts. It was soon time for cake but sadly the little miss had to go to bed first as she would not make it through cake (which is a shame as I would have liked to get some pics of her sharing some birthday cake but I guess I can hold out another 8 weeks until her 1st birthday..........crikey when I put it like that it seems much closer than it should....). Overall I think we all had a fun time and Riley has already put in his order for his birthday dinner, Chicken Fried Steak (he has never had such a thing but someone on Hannah Montana did so it obviously MUST be good..........we'll see).
Riley hard at work decorating Daddy's cake, I have no idea how that icing made it's way to the corners of his mouth................hmmmmm
The family enjoying some treats....
THE BIRTHDAY BOY!!!

Riley sang a special version of Happy Birthday for Daddy and it went something like this.....
Happy Birthday to you, You were born in a zoo, You look like a monkey and you smell like one too!! The evening then digressed all through cake eating time to all of us making up our own versions of the Happy Birthday song. One that comes to mind is: Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, You look like a Crosby and you SNORE like one too!! (ok so that was mine to both my boys hahahahaha)

Great photos and great cake icing, Riley you sure are good at icing cakes.What a good tradition for the birthdays,that makes it very special. The age badge Brad is wearing doesn't seem to match the age on his cake,is there a reason for that?It looks like a good time was had by all of you,"Happy Birthday Brad".gbrthker
That is soo cool - Riley did a great job of icing that cake.. Love the spiderman theme for the 35 year old - nice touch Riley man. Brad really does look so happy with his kids, I'm sure that it would have been a really great night for all of you and I think that Em would've loved to munch in to that cake too...
