Ethan's Special Day at Preschool

At Ethan's preschool, the kids who have a summer birthday get to celebrate their half birthday with the class on their designated "special day".  I appreciated the teachers' thoughtfulness in remembering those with summer birthdays!  The "birthday" child's parents bring in a snack and drink on their child's special day.  Today was Ethan's special day, so I made penguin (confetti cake) cupcakes and brought milk for the kids' snack time.
Ethan was so excited to celebrate his special day and to dig into his cupcake!  Here he is wearing his birthday crown getting ready to pray before snack time.
 
It is probably difficult to see in this photo, but there are 3 1/2 candles on Ethan's pretend birthday cake.
Getting ready to blow out the candles
 
After blowing out the candles, they gave off a ridiculous amount of smoke!
 
Hooray, time to eat!
A messy, but delicious, snack!

Thank you Chris! I found the idea on the website for Family Fun magazine. The orange pieces are dried apricots. I wasn't sure if the kids would like the apricots or not, but they gobbled them up!
