Happy Birthday Owen!

On July 6 our little Owen turned 3. We were in Texas at a Bingham family reunion with Chris's parents and siblings on Owen's birthday and so Owen had to wait until we got home the next day for his presents. He was one excited 3 year old when we got home!!! We didn't arrive home until late in the afternoon but Owen couldn't wait a minute longer. I had to quickly finish wrapping his presents and then the fun began! The highlight for Owen was a Playmobil castle with knights, horses and swords. He has been playing with it for hours every day.





The next day we had Owen's birthday dinner. He wanted pizza, fizz, chips and a pirate birthday cake! Owen has had his eye on a pirate cake at our local supermarket for months. Every time we go we have to stop for a moment to look at the cake. Unfortunately the cake is $50 and so I had to whip up a cake that looked something like a pirate ship! It was chocolate with peanut butter and cream cheese frosting. Peanut butter was the only way I could think of to get the right color! Anyone want cake? The kids now don't seem to want to eat anymore and we have so much left!
