Summer birthdays are celebrated in the month of May at Drew's school. We were able to choose from a few dates and Drew chose May 15 as his birthday is June 15. I was able to bring a treat to school at lunchtime for Drew's class, and Drew chose a cookie cake with a soccer theme. He loves cookie cakes and light blue is his favorite color. So, he wore light blue on this special day, his "school birthday," and celebrated his 7th birthday which is only a month away now. :)
Drew with his incredibly huge cookie cake
Drake was tied down in his stroller so I could cut and serve the cake. He also enjoyed eating an entire piece of cookie cake all by himself. The kids kept giggling as he made a mess of himself.
Another tradition is the birthday kid gets to pick two special friends to go up on stage and lead the whole first grade in singing "happy birthday." Drew had already decided who he was going to pick, and I found it ironic that both friends were wearing an atm and UT shirt. We are definitely in Texas!
Dilan eating the grass icing off the cookie. She didn't actually eat the cookie.
And Drew eating the plain cookie piece as he doesn't like any icing at all. This kid was all smiles today - not only does he get a huge cookie cake today but he'll get another for his actual birthday in June... but he's worth it. :)
