I remember my 7th birthday party, almost as if it were yesterday. My Mom invited a TON of friends and family and we had a swimming party at the Holiday Inn. Lots of fun memories and a few funny stories.
Ramsey turned 7 this year, but his birthday was a bit different than mine, as there was no additional family with us and just a handful of really good friends (our neighbors from two doors down - Derek, Krista and Ramsey's two buddies - Ashton and Raelyn). Though it wasn't a huge bash by any means, we did have a great time, chatting, laughing, and the kids playing.
The night before his birthday, I picked up a few dozen cookies from a local home-based bakery that my friend Robin has. She makes the most amazing cakes and cookies! She made the cookies. I couldn't give up making the cake, though it wasn't nearly as nice as one of hers would have been.
Ramsey was quite surprised when he saw them. One of his favorite Kindle games is Bloons TD6 (monkeys shooting balloons with darts and various other weapons), so Robin whipped up some TD6-inspired frosted sugar cookies. He had asked for TD6 as his birthday theme weeks ago.
A few days prior to me baking his cake, I asked him what kind of a cake he wanted (wondering if he wanted chocolate, vanilla, lemon, etc). He said "I want a Star Wars cake!". Uhhhh... Ok. Star Wars cake (he later expounded that he wanted a straight-up chocolate cake) and Bloons TD6 cookies... I had to laugh - what a combination! Oh well, whatever makes him happy! Aaaaaand, I got to use the personalized Darth Vader vs. Luke Skywalker cut cake topper that had arrived one day too late to use for his cake LAST year!
