Happy Birthday to my Baby Boy!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday Dear Nikolai,

Happy Birthday to you!!  I love you so!!!!

 

Nikolai turned 10 today.  Now he is in the double digits.  I can't believe he is growing up so fast.  I wish I could freeze this time with him.  He wanted a Pepperidge Farm Coconut cake for his birthday.  I was more than happy to oblige him.   I made cupcakes for him to take to school today.  He announce to me after school that "everyone liked them!"  (I wonder if he thought they might not like them!)  He went on to say that he told everyone that his mom made them just for him.  I had wondered why he wanted me to make cupcakes since he is not a cupcake sort of boy.  He really doesn't like them very much.  I realized this afternoon it was so he could tell everyone that his mom made them.  He comes across as a hard shell sort of fella, but inside he is just a big marshmallow.  I love him so much!!  He is just like his daddy!!

Cupcakes for the sweet

I took these pictures as Deniska, Noah, and Jamie decorated cupcakes for their lunch. (Noah and Jamie are friends of ours.) They had a good time with this task! Nikolai, who doesn't like cupcakes (funny kid), would not participate in the cupcake decorating.



Put it on like this?

No, you can't lick the knife and use it again! Get a new knife!!

Let me show you how to do this correctly.

Ooooo, I love those sprinkles!!

Let's start on the 2nd one!

Mine are very pretty! See how pretty?

Can't have too many sprinkles!

What a good job they did!
