Well, as you know, today McCade turned eight! We had a big day that included the 'Blue and Gold' banquet for scouts. Part of these festivities include each cub scout decorating a cake. (Yes, that means I made 2 cakes). There is always a theme, this year was Chinese New Year. I ask you; How do you make a cake for Chinese New Year? Well, we made 2! McCade's was a string of red firecrackers atop a chocolate cake. the firecrackers were twinkies, and the candles in them sparkled. Dallin's was a blue Chinese dragon, like the kind they dance under, not the ones that hide in the wilderness. It had a blue candle in it's mouth that burned blue fire. Here are the pictures....
McCade got his Bobcat; he was pretty proud. He was looking over his brother's shirt figuring out what he had to do to catch up! Dallin got his Bear, his Whitting Chip and his computer belt loop. He is a highly decorated Cub Scout. These pictures of him freezing in the snow is his decorations at the end of his Wolf time. You see mostly everything except the 14 Belt loops around his waist and the activity pins that have no where to go on his shirt. Actually, he has no more room on his shirt. They joke that he is going to have to put stuff on his back soon.
We put McCade's birthday candle on his cake and everyone sang happy birthday to him. I am so glad someone else decided to throw him his birthday party this year! He got a terrarium that grows carnivorous plants, a game, some legos and Sea Monkeys. He thinks it is all pretty cool. The video is McCade blowing out his candles.These are pictures of the boys with the awards they received tonight. All-in-all an exhausting day!
Enjoy!
