We have a recurring theme around here with birthday cakes. This is our third CARS cake and this time around it required a little extra creativity. Have you ever tried decorating a child's birthday cake without the use of food coloring? It's a little tricky.
At any rate, Garrett and the kids at school loved it. This is a family party year for Garrett (and we certainly aren't going to even try to compete with the wedding reception-ish Brazilian birthday parties) but his school likes to have parents bring a cake and have a small celebration, so Ethan and I joined Garrett's class for the last 3o minutes of school today.
We showed a few pictures of Garrett over the last 6 years and talked about his favorite things. His friends sang Happy Birthday to him three times- in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. We filled them up on cake and Snickerdoodles, which are Garrett's favorite cookie, and sent them all home.
I thought it was so cute that everyone loved the homemade American treats. They were just average baked goods, but not much is homemade around here. One cute little girl came up to me and said, "Excuse me, did you make these cookies or buy them? They are delicious". I like her.
When Matt got home we walked down the beach a couple blocks to Garrett's favorite place- Jungle Juice. It's sort of like Jamba Juice but better and they serve really good hot sandwiches.
We came home, sang Happy Birthday one more time and got ready for a family movie night and all fell asleep in the living room about 10 minutes into Charlotte's Web.

Aniversário feliz, Garrett!

How fun!! I know it's been said, but I can't believe he's six. He was still a baby when I left Wymount! What a cutie.
Here's a completely unsolicited quote from Cami:
I remember the first time I met Garrett, and we soon came along with each other and were very best friends and got to play with each other. And I realized ho w much we loved, I mean liked, eachother, and I realized what it meant to be a really good friend. And I realized how important it was to be friends.
