Cameron's birthday was on a Friday (the day of her Greek play) but since Ryan was out of town we decided to celebrate Saturday. Unfortunately Saturday was also General Conference so we made plans to squeeze her party in between the afternoon session and the Priesthood session.
There was one present that just couldn't wait, though. After all of her recent disappointments Ryan and I felt like giving her something a little out of the ordinary. We let her open it up just after lunch.
She thought it was sheet music.
But nope, it was...
Are you serious? ... yep, two tickets to go see Wicked in LA in December. We're also going with my Dad and Kathy. It took a few minutes but when it finally sunk in she was super excited.
Just a little pause in the birthday celebrations. It's a tradition in our house that the kids get to play with playdough while watching General Conference. One reason is because it keeps them mostly quiet and listening and the other reason is I can't stand playdough but I can handle the mess twice a year. These are some of the cool things Dallin and Cameron made. Dallin made the boat and Cameron made the tiger.
Back to the birthday party. Cameron got some fun stuff too, like fuzzy socks, and some great sheet music from her friend Breanna.
Cameron requested this chocolate cake for her birthday. We made it gluten free but not exactly dairy free (you can't win them all). It has a minty cream cheese filling in the center and minty white chocolate drizzle on top of a chocolate glaze that tops the cake. It was delicious.
There's always something that I forget. This year it was candles. I had to dig around to find 11 but they unfortunately didn't match. Stay tuned for part 2 of Cameron's birthday fun.
