Sheriff Javin had a wild and fun birthday this week. His kids' party was filled with play time, games, and cake.

The cake story starts the evening before the party. I made Javin a Sheriff Badge cake in the shape of a star. I had it all frosted and partly decorated when I took a break to put him to bed. I left the cake on the counter. When I came back down awhile later. Molly had ate one of the star points off the cake!! Thankfully, I was able to use leftover pieces to make another star point. That dog loves to eat cake! At least it wasn't chocolate this time!

Mimi got to take him out for breakfast to start off his birthday celebration and then the party began.

The kids played outside on the swings and with the outside toys until lunch was served. Pizza does the trick with little party goers.

Then came presents. He got such nice gifts from his friends. He gave the biggest reaction to his sister's gift of a jump rope. He has been jumping rope like crazy now. We saw the movie Jump In and he was inspired to learn how to do it. He also got a Slip N Slide which we promptly got out and set up for the rest of the party. The kids had a great time sliding on it. After they dried off a bit, they played a few party games. The human tug of war at the end of London Bridges was quite funny and water balloon relays were bursting with fun. For his Sheriff theme he had handcuffs and sheriff's badges for all his friends. Ben's wondering when Javin is going to get those handcuffs off his arm! Happy 7th , Javin!
