Nicholas is 8

Nicholas turned 8 this year - my where has the time flown? Since he is April 10th, he often gets to share his birthday with the Easter Bunny. This year it fell on Good Friday - and he wasn't really happy about that! Poor guy had to go to the dentist (thanks Dad!) and get a haircut (I mean, Easter was in a few days, he needed a trim for those family photos) - but then we went to the movies and saw Monsters vs. Aliens and went to Cherry on Top for some frozen yogurt - so all was not lost.



He got to spread this birthday out for weeks though ... the family celebrated on Easter with a special birthday cake with green (his favorite color) frosting and mint bavarian cream filling - green of course.
We all sang to him while he blew out the "8" candle
I think he is enjoying his cake ... yummy - we all did! Mom has been experimenting with cupcakes and cakes with fillings and frostings, so this was a perfect excuse to try something new. The top layer is supposed to be choclate ganache - as you can see, it was more chocolate soup, but still delicious!
Being 8 will continue with a trip to Disneyland with Mom and Zach and then again a few weeks after Easter break when we has some friends over for a sleep over - stayed tuned for those photos - five 8 year-olds in our house overnight ... yikes
