Happy 36th Birthday Dan!!

For Dan's birthday, we made him a cake and a card. We weren't able to shop because Dawson was sick before, and too tired to bring anywhere. My parents gave Dan his presents at Tyler's party. He got a zip-up hooded sweatshirt, just what he wanted! A huge improvement over his old one that's been under many cars! He also got a battery powered lantern. Dan got a box in the mail today from his parents. He got a pull-over hooded sweatshirt and a $25 gift card for gas. He got a few snacks as well. He noticed a little card in with his stuff with Tyler's name on it. He got a card and $10 cash. Will have to find something to get him with that.

Tyler stirring the batter. He wasn't so thrilled about it. He preferred to watch.

Dawson stirring. He loved it!

Tyler loved watching!!

I'm not sure what's with the sudden serious looks! Had enough of the camera perhaps?

Making a cake is tiring work!

Dan's birthday card. I just had to draw the cake "Word World" style!! (for those of you who don't know, most things in the cartoon are made with the actual letters of the word somehow.)

Hand traces! Gotta love the wiggly thumbs and fingers. Dawson helped decorate the card, as you can see. :)

Dawson seemed excited to give Daddy his card and show him the cake we'd made when he came home from work. I wasn't sure if he'd get into it or not, but he seemed to pick up on the excitement. :)
