Monster Truck Fun!

Jonas asked if he could have a Monster Truck birthday party this year.
He also asked his Daddy if he would make a cake with Monster trucks on it.
We said sure!  This is how it went:
Mark made a chocolate cake with raspberry filling (Jonas' request)

2nd layer..

icing

3rd layer..

icing

after sitting in the fridge to cool, it got a road made
of crushed Nilla wafers and some cars that will
soon be "crushed" by Monster Trucks!

adding the monster trucks

and fun-fetti cupcakes!

A little grass in the middle and the sides and we have
The finished Monster Truck Birthday Cake!

Now... on to the party!

After the kids arrived, they all ran over to the fence 
to greet the neighbors' dog, Forest


They all had a great time playing on the new swing set,
in the sand box, in the yard as well as in the house!

After a make-it-yourself taco lunch, it was time to sing. 

Happy Birthday to you!  Jonas loved having his friends over.

After everyone left, we sat and played with toys for a while, cleaned up
and had some fun watching his new DVD with the monster trucks on it. 
Then we decided to get them all together.

Here's "The line up"
I could not believe how many monster trucks he was given!  He loved it...
and no two trucks were the same.  He received wonderful gifts, great cards as well as some fun
drawings from his friends.  Most of all, he is blessed to have a great bunch friends.  
It was a really fun day for all of us.

Happy 4th Birthday, Jonas!!
