Derek got an Elephant from Mimi and Grampa! This was spotted at the Portland Zoo when we were there a week earlier to celebrate his birthday, it is Mom approved as it is made of soy, and stuffed with kapok! *all other commercially available stuffed animals are made of plastic. It is very soft!
Dad was feeling artistic, can you tell? Derek and Caleb were both very thrilled about the balloon, yes, I know, plastic! Definitely a rare purchase, the boys enjoyed it thoroughly (or roughly?!) for days, I was sure it would pop but it held up fine, even while being used as a bouncy ride!
Isn't this a sweet picture!
The wonders of cropping, hahahaha
Mmmmmm, cherry cheesecake, even the elephant wanted in on it! ;D Derek looks like he thinks he needs a bigger piece!!
