We celebrated with a small bowling party. Tanner had never been bowling and wanted to have his birthday at the bowling alley. I think it was one of the most fun parties we have ever had for them. I think kids and adults alike enjoyed themselves. Everyone bowled!
What party would be complete without a cake. An Elvis cake, of course! Here's Tan's cake I made. I knew I could not make Elvis look real in frosting, so I found a picture of a caricature of him instead. Tanner liked it and everybody got a kick out of it! It was fun!
OK, I must have had just a little too much time on my hands that day because I had no wrapping paper for Tan's gift and decided to make my own. I had some U-Haul packing paper but it was a little see-thru. So, I decided to draw designs on it to throw off seeing through it. Elvis pictures, no less! Everyone thought I bought it that way!! It was hard to watch all my hard work get ripped to shreds as he tore into his gift! Oh well, it was worth it! Here's my artwork. Green is Tanner's favorite color so I did them all in green paint marker. I found this picture online and started off drawing my own and while they looked good, it was just taking too long. So, I traced the rest. What do you think?

Amanda, I never realized you were oozing with so much creativity...the cake and the paper are beautiful!!!
Great job on the cake, girl!! You're just crazy for the paper...lol...
Wow- okay, I expected the cake to look great, but you caught me off-guard with the paper. You did great! Hey, I want some Christmas paper with little leg-lamps all over it. If I get you a roll of white, can you get started soon? ... Ok, just kidding. Can someone please tell me how to find out my username and password on this thing? I've already signed up.
Wow! What a mom!
