On April 8th Owen turned 4. He was so excited that it was finally his birthday. The last few birthday's were a bit hard for him to sit through someone else getting all the gifts. But his day finally came. We just had a family celebration. Owen had accidentally happened upon a couple of his gifts early so he new a couple of his gifts. So for a few days he kept talking about his the thing costume and stuff.
For his birthday dinner he wanted macaroni and cheese. Nice and easy and not top pricey, just what I like. Though I hate mac and cheese, the kids love it. After dinner we had cake. Chris had an idea to make a 3D Aku cake. Aku is the bad guy from Samurai Jack. It ended up taking longer than I thought to make. I bit harder too. If I had to make Aku again, it would be a lot easier, and turn out better the second time around that's for sure.

Holly your talents never cease to amaze me. You should seriously sell your cakes! That thing looks real. I loved when Owen was blowing out the candles cause Aku looks so annoyed! HA!!! I remember when Owen was born! I can't believe he is 4. Happy birthday little man!
Wow, what a great cake!!! Looks like Owen had a fantastic party.
That cake is awesome! You totally rock! I'm sitting here thinking 4 is too big a number for Owen, but I guess it has to be right. Time Flies!
That cake is amazing!!! And Owen is so cute!
Happy Late Birthday Owen!
