Buster's birthday

Yesterday was Drake's birthday, and we made sure he had fun all day! I mean cummon, who doesn't love waking up to presents and eggs? And I give credit where credit is due. Huge props to Grammy McPhie who bought, wrapped, and shipped presents for both Gwen and Drake before she left for her European vacation so they both had them on their birthdays. Talk about thinking ahead!
In getting ready for Drake's birthday, I asked him what kind of cake he wanted and listed some of the things he's into now. And he replied with enthusiasm, "BUUUUZZZZZZZ"!!! Like it was a question? Buzz is his FAVORITE right now. So I began my search for a Buzz Lightyear cake pan. Found one on eBay for about $40 with $20 shipping and two days left for bidding! Yah right. Then hopped online a couple days later and the only one I found then was just for sale from some store for $110!!! I guess Disney only made 500 and they're kind of rare now. I was bummed but still wanted to do a Buzz cake. So I found a picture online, cute the cake to match the shape of Buzz, then drew him in myself! Seriously, I'm so proud of myself! I might never need to buy a cake pan again.

Okay, enough about the cake, enjoy the slideshow!
