After dinner it was time for the big event - cake and candles.
A popular theme for the cake - "Bananas in Pyjamas". [Did I ever mention that I met B1 a while ago. Yes, really.]
Dandy with Flynn, supervising building operations - to distract the birtday boy while preparations continue.
Ah, the cake is ready, and Flynn is already showing the excitement - even before the candles have been lit!
Time for a closer look at this cake.
The mob assembles for the choral aspect.
Ah, the singing of "Happy Birthday". And our family tradition is to sing with actions, specifically to point at the victim, oh I mean birthday recipient.
"Hip Hip Hooray"
Ah, the candles are out, as Jake "helps" his little brother. I was a little slow getting the photo of Flynn blowing the candles out, so this is as close as it comes. Even at 2, Flynn is very enthusiastic about blowing out the candles. Anywhere there are candles!
"How did the large cake turn into this little piece?" thinks Flynn.
"Oh well, I can make it seem bigger by eating it slowly - one finger lick at a time"
Time to head home, but before heading off, a last photo of the Wallace part of the clan, with Tynan wearing the mask, and Jake the interloper. Kelly gave birth to Cooper less than 2 weeks later!
