Our Survivor Has a Birthday!

Anthony turned 6!!

He started the day out by going outside to see what Andy was working on--Daniel's moped.

Anthony had to show me his strong muscles and Hulk-vicious look for a picture.

 So happy to see Penny after we got back from our trip.

 Josh, Andy, Maggie, Kelly, and I did the ALS ice bucket challenge.

 Back to his birthday--

I kept thinking I had several more days before Anthony's birthday, then the day before I realized how close it actually was.

There was no time to even do a last-minute party like I had wanted.

So, we did a special day full of things that Andy likes and loves.

Anthony won't eat breakfast.  He refuses.

So, we were surprised when he requested a quesadilla soon after waking up!

That afternoon, we went out.

There was a performance at the Pybus Market in Wenatchee, so we went to watch.

I figured Anthony would like it.

He liked it after we got his headphones on.

Crowds and microphones make his ears hurt.

 It's hard to see, but the performer is on her fabric near the top!

 Then, we went to the toy department.

Since his day snuck up on me, I didn't have a gift ready.

What better way  to get the right one than to have him pick it out?!

We picked out a couple toys he liked, but his new Buzz Lightyear figurine was the favorite by far.

He carried it all through the store and wouldn't let it down.

The other presents were a couple of puzzles and a see 'n say.  He really liked that.

 Maggie made his cake.

He thought the box with the Funfetti mix was the coolest, so Maggie made that.

I made up some frosting and added the only color we had, which was green.

I got some m&m's because Anthony really liked them a few months ago.

He doesn't like cake or frosting...or so I thought.

He ended up not eating cake, but not the m&m's either!

But, he did keep licking frosting off his finger.  :)

 Kelly's sad because she had recently started her gluten-free diet, hoping it might help with her vomiting.

So, she couldn't have cake.

She did have m&m's though.

Anthony was so excited when we sang to him!

Watch the look of pure joy on his face.
