Anyway, the kids "family" party was last Sunday and it went suprisingly smooth. The boys started off the day by decorating their own birthday cakes. Quentin wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and Zachery decided on Funfetti cake with white frosting. This year they decorated with sprinkles and candy letters. It was interesting to say the least. I am not a baker by any means and so I backed this cake and as soon as it came out of the oven I tipped it out of the pan for easier decorating and cutting. Well...It kind of broke! The top came out of the pan, but the bottom remained in tact in the bottom of the pan, so...I scrped the bottom out of the pan and used frosting to paste it back together. The top looked pretty, but the bottom looked like scrabbled cake:) After I destroyed the cake, I frosted them and the boys were ready to decorate. Quentin spelled out "Happy 7th Birthday Quee," and then he was done. Zachery on the other hand, was supposed to spell out "Happy 5th Birthday Zachery," but he soon realized that he had extra letters, so it became more of a word search by the time he was done :)
The party was scheduled at four, but people started to show up around three, which we come to expect so there were no worries! After everyone arrived, we started the night off with food! We had hot dogs/chili dogs and chips, something simple and cheap! I made tons of food and I thought that I would have leftovers, but they cleaned us out, which made for easy clean up :)When everyone finished eating, Zachery insisted on opening his presents, so we brought in the boys and they opened their presents together. I guess everyone had they same idea, because Quentin racked up $62.00 and Zachery landed $42.00. Aunt Brandi and her gang gave Zachery a transformer car and Quentin a Ben Ten type of toy (sorry can't remember the name) and both boys got stickers from them as well. They have played with these toys non stop since Sunday, so you guys did good! They both got a fishing pole from thei Aunt Cheri. Zachery has decided to spend his money on a new bigger bike and Quentin says, "I don't know, I'll have wait till I get there and see."
After allowing everyone to digest for a little bit we served cake and ice cream. Again tinking I had more than enough, but had no leftovers, so perfect! They had their choice of chocolate and white cake as well as chocolate or vanilla ice cream. Everyone chowed down and had a good time, but since it was a school night everyone had to start filing out shortly after cake. Everyone was gone by eight o'clock and the boys continued to play and have fun until bed time. Zachery insisted that he didn't have school on Monday, but it did him no good :) 
Now Zachery is waiting for his Miner Mike's "friends" party on March 8th!
