A Very Nerdy Birthday

August 12, 2010 by Arena Blake 9 Comments

Today is The Nerd’s birthday.
He’s 26 years old.

Last weekend, we were at my parents’ house, so I decided to pull together a birthday dinner for him.

Of course, it was Star Wars themed.

I got some silly hats and some other fun toys for the kids (and The Nerd) to play with!

Doesn’t The Nerd look like he’s enjoying his party?

My sister and her son, Hyrum, definitely liked the hats!

I made these Red Velvet Cupcakes since they’re The Nerd’s favorite.

I wonder what he wished for…

He got some Transformers toys from my parents.

And not one…

But *two* light sabers from me!
They light up and make swooshing sounds and everything!
His *real* present was the XBox Slim he got a while back.

Once the presents were opened, everyone got down to business: Eating the cupcakes.
River liked the icing.

So did Hyrum!

He’s such a cute boy!

I think it was a good (early) birthday.
Today, we’re heading to QuakeCon to continue the celebration.
I made Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes (since Reese’s are his favorite candy). I’ll post the recipe later.
Hope you all have a great day!
Happy Birthday, honey!

    Those cupcakes look awesome! You can't just get 1 light saber! Who would you battle with if you don't have another!?

    Happy birthday to the Nerd!
