That's right folks. This year Ashton wanted his birthday to be all about Green Eggs and Ham. I actually tried to talk him out of it since I figured it was a passing fancy but he stuck to his guns and so on March 29th we celbrated his 5th birthday in a very green Dr. Seuss sort of way.
At first I was just going to make him a bunch of cupcakes topped with green meringue eggs. But then I thought to myself that its just no fun to blow out five candles on a cupcake. So I made a small ham cake (also green) to go with the cupcakes. Then we loaded up his presents and headed to IHOP for dinner so that he could actually eat green eggs and ham for dinner (they have a special going on right now featuring just that). We were met there by family and ate breakfast for dinner, watched Ashton open presents, and blow out the candles on his cake. Here are some pics.

Ashton was so happy to have his green cake.Being Becky, I of course forgot the camera as I always do! So all his pics were taken with a Phone... not the best of quality but at least its something!
Note: Suprisenly enough, Ashton actually does not own the book Green Eggs and Ham.
