Birthday Celebrations and a Space Shuttle Cake
16 Aug
We recently had a birthday in our house:
Silas turned 6!
Each year I let the kids decide what they want their birthday cake to look like. Yes, look like. As in, come up with whatever you want and I will try to make it.
Last year, just a few days after Silas’ 5th birthday{at which he requested a Feller Buncher cake}, he told me what cake he wanted for his 6th birthday cake: A Space Shuttle cake.
No worries, I thought, he will change his mind.
Low and behold, 12 months later, he still wanted a Space Shuttle birthday cake {and space shuttle toys, and an astronaut suit, and to go to Mars…}
It actually seemed very fitting, in honor of NASA’s 2011 retirement of the Space Shuttles, to make a space shuttle cake.
Since we couldn’t go see the real shuttle, we took pictures of our own.
We didn’t just eat cake for the birthday celebrations, although we did manage to eat lots and lots of cake.
We also went to a local amusement park and rode the rides.
Here’s to another year filled with fun adventures and lots of love and laughter.
Welcome to My Kids Make. I'm Becky, mom to 2 cuties, Sydney and Silas.
Curtis looks absolutely thrilled to be on that ride…
hahah! he did have fun, up until he started feeling sick from all the spinning!
Beautiful cake Becky!! And Happy Birthday to our precious Silas! xo
It was sort of prophetic that Silas would select a Space Shuttle theme a full year in advance of all the final shuttle festivities. Great cake and “Here, here!!!” to “another year filled with fun adventures and lots of love and laughter.”
Looks like Silas had a fun birthday.
Great job guys.
