Did you know it's a wonder year?!  That's what I heard!  Turning your age on your birthday day?  

So, THIS was even a MORE fun birthday!

Of course, there were 18 balloons.  

The place mat that welcomed the day.  

The chocolate cake that was requested and made.  I forgot to save some white frosting for the name so thought quickly and came up with mini chocolate chips to write the name. (I think it worked okay... he loved it.)
