Camden’s Birthday

IMG_3220

Cam’s birthday was a few weeks ago, and despite the look on his face showing his consternation about his sisters waking him too early and crowding him too much, he had a great NUMBER EIGHT birthday!

 

We can’t believe our little butterball of sleepiness has had his big time birthday already.

Po by this time… the third birthday in two months, not including Christmas… knew all about presents. It took all of our efforts to keep her from opening them all before Cam had a chance to shake them and try and figure out what they were. 

Cam is like me and likes to save all his presents for as long as possible, but his sisters were all up at the crack of dawn to get him to open them quick. Luckily he has become very good at quelling their persistent nagging, and he did manage to make his scant amount of presents last all day.

But who needs presents when your mom makes unlimited donuts for breakfast?!

After breakfast we took a trip to Cam’s favorite beach—the Boat Ramp beach. The kids like to jump off the boat docks in between the scuba boats coming in.  Um, scary?

I find more and more similarities between Ana and Po every day. Here’s one: total love of water and waves. And running.

This photo is blurry because I had to hurry and take it and then drop the camera and grab Po before she rode the skateboard down the stairs. She’s always looking for new adventures. She keeps me fit and fast.

Cam’s chocolate cakes. The strawberries make an eight. You have just witnessed the pinnacle of my cake decorating abilities. Feel free to pin this on Pinterest. Also note the fine votive candles. They dripped so much wax on his chair that we have yet to get it all off.

Happy Birthday Cam!! It was a great one… but it wasn’t over yet. Stay tuned for the birthday party and baptism!
