But don't worry, he will have a cake, and he did get some gifts from family, and he will have a mini party at Poppy's and Grandma Darling's house this Saturday. My (step) Mom makes delicious cakes, and I had decided long ago, as I planned his this-party-will-never-happen party in my head, that I wanted a Ghostbusters theme for my little guy's birthday. Not the traditional theme, but I am a bit of a weirdo, so just go with me on this.
Here is the cake I found when I Googled Ghostbusters cakes.
The last time I sent my Mom a picture of a cake, she did an awesome job at creating something very similar to what the picture looked like. I can't wait to see what she comes up with for Elijah's cake.
Since he had to go and have his first birthday during the week, he couldn't have had it on a better day. Daddy's day off work.
We gathered up all of the children and took the birthday boy to get his first hair cut. I sent out a Twitter and Facebook plea for the best kids cuts place in our area, and everyone, I mean everyone, suggested JJ's Kids Cuts.
It really was the best place to go! Cute little chairs for kids to sit on, different things like a car, a firetruck, and an airplane. In front of each little chair was a television where they put on a cute little movie (Elijah got Baby Einstein) to keep the child's attention. Did it keep his attention? Nope! He likes Handy Manny and Imagination Movers. There was also an indoor playground and a video game area, but that didn't stop my children from causing chaos!
Once Elijah finished his haircut, he got a My First Haircut certificate with his picture on it and a balloon. All of my children and one balloon! Yeah right! That was a nightmare!
Doesn't my Little Monster look the most handsome with his new haircut?
