Grant turned 9 years old this past week. He is growing up so fast! He is really into Pokemon these days and wanted a Pokemon themed birthday. Scott was able to procure some Pokemon items while getting groceries one day. Grant and Anna put these Pokemon toys together to be cake toppers. They are Lego like (Mega Construx brand). Grant and Anna have been playing so nicely together during our isolation. I thought there would be a lot of fighting at home, but kids have been getting along better than expected, so that's good.
Grant showed me how he wanted his Pokemon arranged on the cake. Pikachu in the middle. I have learned a little bit about Pokemon since most of my kids are Pokemon crazy these days. So I know this is left to right, Squirtle, Charmander, Pikachu, some guy I don't know (I want to say Abra?) and Bulbasaur. I know the names of a few other popular ones but that's about it.
I made the cake and Anna frosted it for us.
Grant and Anna arranged the Pokemon on top and Anna put the candles on.
The cake was a team effort.
Scott lit the 9 candles and brought the cake over.
It's an inferno!
We did a Pokemon scavenger hunt where Grant had to go around and find little Pokemon pictures from all over the house. Once he caught them all he could get his presents. The kids had a lot of fun finding the Pokemon.
A homemade Pokemon card (made by Emma and Anna).
Some Pokemon gifts
Happy Birthday Grant. We told him we would do an out of the house adventure some time in the future. Who knows when that will be.
And here are a few pictures from my birthday which is a few days before Grant's.
We had faux strawberry shortcake, which is just yellow cake with sliced strawberries and whipped cream.
Hooray! I had a nice birthday in the house. Scott got Chinese take out and we watched a movie.
Anna made some homemade soaps (wrapped up in this homemade bag). It was very sweet.
Emma made a birthday Lego Duplo scene for me.
