More Birthday Fun

After his party was over, Cole still had to open his presents from us. Two things that I found funny as he was doing it.
First of all, should a 5 year old be able to tell what the present is by the shape? He looked at this package and could tell right away that it was a Wii game! I'm going to have to start disguising his presents apparently!
A few months ago, we got a twin bed and played musical beds, shifting everyone around. Cole moved to the twin bed, Emily moved to Cole's toddler bed, and Addy moved into the crib. However, we didn't really have any good kid-friendly sheets, so I decided to get Cole some Star Wars sheets for his birthday. After I finally got them washed and on the bed, he laid down on his bed, threw his non-Star Wars blanket off and declared that he was only having a Star Wars room now.
Even after all of this, Cole's birthday wasn't complete. In our pre-party planning, Cole informed me that while he was having a soccer ball cake for his birthday party, he wanted basketball cupcakes for the "family party". Since my parents were coming out, we saved the family party until they got here a few days later.
Cousins and might-as-well-be-cousins came to the party.
Grandma made Cole some Army guy outfits for him and his buddy to wear. Cole was so excited he put it on right away. (He also wore the other one to bed that night. I finally had to take them away so they could be washed!)
Emily didn't want to be left out (as usual)!
Then came the cupcakes. As I was frosting them, Cole informed me that he did not want pink basketballs. (Do those look pink to you?!?!!?!? Me neither!) So, I had to make the few that I had left blue basketballs just so he would eat them!
Apparently they tasted ok though! He didn't seem to leave many scraps.
I think we might be done with Cole's birthday now! At least until next year.
