Aren't Fat Kids Supposed to Like Cake?

A couple weeks ago we had a real low key party for Shane's birthday. In true Dominican fashion, the power was out for the start of it.
We were glad our friends still came over and the power came back on just in time for cake.

And, as you can see, Liz's camera works a lot better than mine, so thanks to her for taking the rest of these pictures!

He opened some presents from the grandparents. He loved the ribbon but didn't really get the opening part, so his friend Ella was more than happy to help. (By the way, she came up with her own nickname for him- "washing maShane")

We put him in his chair and he wasn't so sure what to do with all the attention Tentatively at first he started smearing the cake on his face,

Then really got into it

Resulting in this

and this

And yet he took one bite and decided that was enough, and opted for a bowl of potato soup instead. Go figure. Anyway, he had a lot of fun and so did we! Happy birthday Shane!
