…of course there was cake.
And presents…
Pretty simple birthday, really. Grandma and grandpa were visiting for Thanksgiving, so we celebrated with them, too. We kept it quiet and small. (No extra ankle biters running around, anyway.)
Simple, but not free.
The Breakdown:
- Cake mix + frosting ~ $1.50 (with coupons) (baked by big brother, of course)
- Transformers ~ $52
- Emily the electric engine (actually purchased last year) ~ $42
- Total ~ $95.50
Does that seem like a lot? It kind of does to me. I went full-out retail shopping this time, for the transformers, which I knew he would love. (He slept with them that night.) No, he hasn’t seen the movies. I don’t think he’s even seen the cartoon. (I’m assuming there is one?) But manipulating those pieces is right up his alley, and I actually didn’t want to get something that would be too easy for him — turns out, they’re not exactly easy for his parents, either. (ahem)
