On the actual day Ethan turned 6 this year (January 31st), we planned a short celebration in school, as was usually the case.
Ethan had already requested for his specially-made birthday cake months in advance, and he had been very consistent about it; he’d wanted a Lightning McQueen birthday cake. So, … no two ways about it…I presented him with the cake he wanted. And he was ecstatic!
It was a lengthy process making that cake, but well worth the effort…especially just seeing the joy on Ethan’s face…
However, having a cake for a birthday celebration in school wasn’t the only thing we needed to plan…
There were still the party packs to think of, and this year we wanted to give Ethan’s friends a memento from him, along with some goodies and useful items.
I made yummy sugar cookies, in the shape of cars… in line with the theme of the celebration…
…decorated with royal icing in red and black…
…and then, personalized with each child’s name, and individually wrapped 🙂
…and then we got these neat little steel pencil holders shaped like tins and packed the sugar cookies, some oatmeal cookies and jelly, and a couple of pencils in them.
This was where my trusty assistant came in, and he worked like clockwork… 🙂
