9th Birthday Celebration #4...

Jackson really wanted to play laser tag for his birthday. He wanted to have his best peeps along and so did Jon and I, so we turned it into a Dodd versus Parrish challenge.

There may or may not have been a lot of trash texting on the way there. Yours truly may or may not have even come up with a cheer for our family to do. We even worked out our pose:

You see we may or may not be a very competitive family, but we may have met our match! These goofballs came all dressed in black (the better to hide in the dark laser tag). I was very impressed and completely bummed I didn't think of it! They even stole our pose:

It was so much fun. We all took a much needed rest before going in for round 2.

He may not have been dressed covertly, but my man had the highest score!

These two totally undermined the competition because they couldn't stand to be on different teams.

Doesn't he look menacing :)

Then we went home where Jackson and Maggie rocked the house.

Meanwhile, Jon furthered his Bromance with Ben who held the level so he could draw straight lines on the guitar cake (that would be eaten in 5 minutes) since I laughed at the idea and refused to enable his overperfectionism! Here's the Cake Man with another masterpiece!
It truly was a masterpiece (with straight strings to boot). It was even peanut free, an extra little challenge the Cake Man's able assistant handled. The neck was made of Swiss Cake Rolls topped by Hershey bars- my favorite part. Jackson had no idea what we were making and was surprised:
We all had a great time and can't wait for a rematch (just a little warning: we will be wearing war paint!).
