Happy Birthday, Ma-lak!!!!

 It's hard to believe that this little boy is NINE years old!!!  He's growing into such a kind, smart,  ambitious, courageous and thoughtful young man.....
 In "ode" to his current obsession with horrible grade B sci-fi creature movies, I made this cake.  (So sorry I had to leave out Crocosaurus and Sharktopus.....)  The edible sand was a big hit!
 With our busy schedules this week his birthday celebration turned into a 3-4 day affair!  I sent 3 dozen chocolate mud/sour gummy worm cupcakes with him Wednesday to swim practice.  His birthday was Thursday but I was working, so we let him open a couple presents.  Friday he opened another one, but we didn't actually have cake and ice cream and play games and CELEBRATE till Sunday night!




 One of the candles is hiding, but there really are 9 of them!!










 Gotta love the good old favorite of Pin the Tail on the Donkey!  They'd never played before and thought it was hilarious good fun!



 Not too bad, Rea won!!


 Ma-lak informed me that "When David takes us to the park, we have footballs and baseballs and bats and gloves, but the only thing we don't have is a basketball!!"

 Found the perfect traveling chess board for taking along on swim meets!!
