Despicable Me Birthday Party

The cakes turned out perfect.  It took a group effort to complete.

Look at all those cutie pies.

Birthday boy was happy with his drawing class.

These two cutie pies have been friends since kindergarten.

Dave Boatman kept every one's attention.

Minion

It was nice to share my lap again.

Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Only the truly faithful stayed to draw Gru.

Happy Birthday Jacob!

First Day of 5th Grade

How did this 4 year old pre-k student become...

(I loved that lunch box)

this 10 year old 5th grade student.  It is a mystery to me where the time went.  We have spent 7 years at Coeur d'Alene Elementary school.  I will miss walking down the block to get to school.

Michael's Birthday

Michael's birthday celebration included Korean BBQ, a movie and coconut cake.  The cake was a new recipe and a great success.  http://thaifood.about.com/od/thaidesserts/r/coconutcakefluffycoconuticing.htm

5 Pounds of Chocolate

My neighbors received this chocolate bar as a gift.  They let me take a picture of it.  I think it is an appropriate amount of chocolate, don't you?
