After the song was sung, Kyle literally dug into the cake with his bare hands. We managed to get him a fork and he continued devouring his cake (more on the cake later).
Makena: "Paige, do you think those shorts are too long?" Paige: "I don't know, but I love the design of the shirt."
Kyle can't be content to just say thank you for his nice gifts, he also has to hold them up and check them out, real-time.
Kyle received a very nice Cars beach lounger chair from his Uncle Tim, Aunt Collet, and cousin Brooke - there was a small altrication over the attached umbrella, but we figured it all out.
My favorite part of this photo (besides the fact that Doug managed to get a photo of the ONE side that I didn't finish icing) is the fact that Kona is begging for food in the background.
Kyle & Caden enjoying their party favors: ice packs! These two rough and tumbles need them!
Ryan made a fashionable, late appearance at the party - he was too busy napping and refilling his energy tank so he could party it up. Here he is with his Grandma Gresham.
Be afraid... be very afraid!
Please indulge me, the next series of photos are of the McQueen cake that I made for Kyle's birthday. What an endeavor.
Technically, I had enough icing to finish this up, but I didn't have enough patience, energy, or enthusiasm to ice the back. (Note that the original icing color was described by Uncle Matt as "an unappetizing dried blood-like color.")
The final product on the side which didn't have a saggy bumper.
McQueen needed a little padding in the front to keep his bumper on. But overall, considering everything that went into making this cake, it didn't turn out too badly.
OK, so that "lightening bolt" isn't as much a lightening bolt as it is "a guitar" (according to Uncle Matt - what a critic).
Kyle's "Big McQueen" was the inspiration for the cake and Uncle Matt (who maybe missed his calling and should have been a comedian or cake critic) said that the cake ended up looking like someone made a cake of "Big McQueen" and then smashed him into a pancake.
