Happy Twelfth Birthday, Lars-of-Ours!

It's Lars's Birthday Today!

So, this is what TWELVE looks like!  Our birthday prince has spent his special day in front of the television, watching back-to-back Star Wars movies while simultaneously playing the new Nintendo DS games that he received for Christmas yesterday.  Grammy and Grampa joined us for a birthday dinner (the birthday boy specified that he wanted "pizza from Lorenzos with only cheese on it, AND those breadsticks and fried mozzarella sticks with the sauce to dip them in"). 

Oh Yes, I CAN fit 12 Candles on a Cupcake!

We had cupcakes from SAS with little LEGO brick candies stuck in the frosting, and I crammed twelve candles into Lars's cupcake (despite the disapproval of the other, more sensible adults in the family).  Then Lars opened birthday presents from his relatives.

Of course, when your birthday is the day after Christmas, you have to delay your birthday party with friends in order to minimize scheduling conflicts, so we'll be doing some kind of crazy sleepover party mid-January for Lars and his peeps.

Happy Twelfth Birthday, Lars-of-Ours!
