August 31, 2010: Ruby's Birthday

So as we were getting ready to go check Ruby out of school, Geric was having some fun while we were distracted:
He was picking out the marshmellows: Gotta love the toddler stage!

"Mmm!"

So, we went and got Ruby.  I had asked her and Devan to decide what we would do on her birthday day.  The evening before, they had decided we would go to Build a Bear and let her pick some stuff out.  After we had gotten her and were on our way to Build a Bear, my hubby hinted to her what Grandma Smith and Popo had gotten her, a doll house.  So by doing that, he had talked her out of going to Build a Bear.  I was disappointed only because all she wanted to do after that was go home and see her doll house.  It was previously owned so I wanted to go through all the pieces and clean them.  Devan had already cleaned the house.  If I knew we weren't going to Build a Bear, we would have checked her out at her lunch time and taken her to lunch and to the store to pick out a present.  Well, what we did was went to Best Buy "to get a movie."  He may deny it, but I feel like Devan had a hidden agenda, he wanted to check something out and get more info on a certain product.  She did pick out a Wii game and a movie.  The movie she picked was "E.T."  I feel bad because I feel like she got jipped on her birthday.  Devan actually admitted that he felt bad too.  My poor little princess!

Here are pics of them making her cake:

Here are pics of the finish product, Devan tried a new recipe.

The reason there are not pics of Little Devan or me is because Little D was taking pics and I was feeding Xzander.  Here are some pics of Xzander that day:

"Yes, I'm watching T.V."
