the postponed party. yeehaw!
today we had Judah’s birthday party that was postponed from last week Friday.
I’ve always loved the fact that my boy had a high-summer birthday in December! Pool parties and water are generally on our party itinerary… except when we’re in Canada on furlough that is. ha. If you remember, we gave Judah 2 double barrel water guns for his birthday last Friday, they were to have matched with the take-home treats we gave the invitees at the party – mini water pistols. We had 2 buckets of water balloons prepared for the party, so everyone was heavily armed for an afternoon of wet fun.
These brilliant photos are courtesy of Josh’s new toy: a telephoto lens for our Nikon. He’s pretty stoked about it.
My parents were also in the thick of things. My dad was in charge of refilling ammo.
“Hang on a moment…”
“Ok, now i’m ready!”
Judah’s band of brothers: Fanilo (Malagasy/German), Seth and Cole (American), Judah (Canadian), Josiah (American).
We had birthday cake (wacky cake and lemon pound cake alternating in a 4 layer with butter cream icing and fondant – which took me all day – literally – to make. I got the decorating idea from this blog entry. We had flags – a la Eric and Lara – on the cake to continue the flag/banner theme. Dad and Josh helped with the red balls, mom made the cakes and i put it all together. Phew! exhausting!!), and popcorn in painted brown paper bags.These photos are all JOsh’s picks from the big camera. Stay tuned for my picks and those from my red camera. Sorry for the overload.

look how the flags match the cake colours. haha
