Spencer got a game for his Nintendo DS, and we disguised it by putting some legos in a box with the game and then wrapping that. He thought that he was getting legos and Melissa was pretty proud of herself for successfully disguising it. He also got some clothes from Grandma and some cash from his other Grandma, Great-Grandma, and some aunts and uncles.
Jayden got a t-ball/pitching machine thing which he won't really be able to use until Spring, but for now, he likes watching the ball pop up into the air in the basement. Thank goodness he can't quite hit it yet or else we might have some broken windows. He also got some clothes, dinosaurs and money.
Here is the cake that I made them. It took four cake mixes! And the wheels are ding-dongs, my personal favorite. I did make sure that I had a whole box of extra ding-dongs in case more than one kid wanted a wheel.
The proud 3 year old!
And the happy 8 year old.
Melissa made the back license plate for the car. No surprise it says Jayden.
Jayden getting ready to blow the candle, only it really looks like his target is Spencer's candle.
But Spencer quickly put an end to that! Although Jayden doesn't look too happy about it because Spencer blew Jayden's candle out as well.
So, we lit it again and let Jayden do it.
Everything went so great, and was a lot less work doing the two together, I think I will give it a try for Melissa and Jenna in March. Both have even birthdays and so only get a family party. Do you think Melissa will go for a princess cake?

Such fun!! And in March, two kids, two cakes - one Princess, one whatever! Two couldn't be any more difficult than one cake that took four mixes plus ding-dongs! You didn't say how many "kids" actually wanted wheels.
A ding dong cake. How could I miss that? What a cool cake.
