Private Party - You Must Be THIS Tall or Shorter to Attend

This is Thomas' birthday cake for Birthday #2. It's dinosaurs. With volcanoes. And smoke. And primordial ooze. And grass. And brown things that are probably dirt or mud, but looked all the world like dino-doo. :)




Thomas eating HIS cake. Please note the use of a fork. And, interestingly enough, I'm not accustomed to the concept of eating a cake top => down, but... it works. And considering it was buttercream icing, I can see credit for his method.



So let me get this straight... I get cake, AND icing... AND dino toys?! This IS a cool event. And we do this EVERY year? Nice deal.

(The dinos even made roaring noises when you pressed a switch or moved their mouths...)





Once upon a time, long before I was born (according to Daddy, when Marmee was a little girl), the dinosaurs ruled the Earth. One day, the amount of cake was small, and the two great beasts of the forest came together to do battle. Only one would win. Only one would get cake. This was the great battle of all time...

Or, as Thomas would say, "Roar! Roar! Roar!"



(Wish you were here, Leesh. You would have loved this. Think he had a good birthday, though, Sweetheart. And... I know you were here... just differently. * )
