Peter was so lucky that he got to have 2 birthday parties! The first party was at Grandma Radzak's house on Friday, November 9, his actual birthday. We were coming from Duluth so we had a quick meal of Papa Murphy pizza and then Grandma had a Nemo cake for dessert.
Just the boys hanging out downstairs while the pizza cooked (or burned!). Mom made a mental note that evening- don't let 2 grown up men and 2 kids be in charge of cooking pizza, even when they are sitting right next to the oven!
Peter enjoys some snacks before the pizza is ready. I think he knows to head right for the table as soon as he gets to Grandma's house. She always has a plate of goodies. This time we got strawberries and carrots with dip! Yum!
Peter loved his new excavator he got from Grandma and Grandpa. It was a new thing for me to watch Peter open gifts without me getting any. Mom and Dad had to talk to me about how it was Peter's special day.
Finally, the cake! Grandma had a beautiful Finding Nemo cake that was very delicious!
This is Peter's new pout. The cake was sitting in front of him and he reached for it- Mom just told him, no, your piece is on your plate, and he did his pout for a minute. He doesn't say anything or cry at all, just pouts with his head down. And then all of a sudden, he is happy again. Mom wasn't even being mean, he is just funny, thats all. Sometimes at home if he doesn't get his way, he will silently go sit on the steps with his head down. Silly Peter! He is so cute sometimes!
