I made his favorite cookies (pumpkin-raisin), and 7-layer bean dip.12.31.11 Zach's Birthday12.31.11 Zach's Birthday (11)He opened presents12.31.11 Zach's Birthday (1)with an audience:12.31.11 Zach's Birthday (3)Instead of cake, we had cookies:12.31.11 Zach's Birthday (10)And just for fun, we used re-lighting candles–the kids loved it:
