9!

 Blake turned 9!  For his birthday, we ate at Organ Stop Pizza.  The kids loved the entertainment, even though those dancing cats were looking a bit mangy!  Look closely and you'll see the organ player in the background.

                                                 We came home and had presents and cake!

I decided to play with fondant again and made this Mario cake.  It took much longer than anticipated, and I was rushing to finish in time.  I think I need a cake stand instead of a pan turned upside down!Blake is getting so tall, and will probably pass me up before long!  He's doing well in piano, and is a great artist!  We're glad he's part of our family!
