Rod and Gil sharing a Birthday Party. New Years Eve

This is our home-made sign for Gil and Rod. The girl

cousins worked hard to make it perfect. Thanks Girls!

These are the cakes that Jodi, Marci, and I worked hard

on ALL day long! I started losing patience so thank

goodness Marci helped save the day. Shay just wanted a

big piece of chocolate so hers is the chocolate top.

Oh how sweat these two boys are!! I am so glad they get

to be cousins! Isn't my Rodney especially cute clapping

his hands as we sing Happy Birthday to them?

Rodney didn't so much like to get his hands dirty. He

was not quite sure what to do with this big, sticky, blue

thing we set right in front of him.

Gil looks a little indifferent as to what to do also.

So with a little encouragement Rod gave it a try. What I

need to point out too is it is pretty late for these boys on

New years eve. They have been with cousins all day so

their patience at learning and experiencing new things is

about gone!

Gil actually liked it a lot more then Rod did. Rod would

eat the chocolate if we broke it into pieces but the cake

and blue crap he could do without!

He did decide a mess would be fun! We had a blast all

watching them try this new experience. The Next time

I work all day on a cake we will all cut a piece and enjoy

it, not watch the baby tear it apart and not eat it!
