Snakes Alive! Owen is Five!

Our son loves snakes. We had no choice. 

Welcome to - Snakes Alive! Owen is Five!


 (Cousin Bailey made him this snake banner - isn't it great!)
 The birthday boy - looking at how old he is.
 FIVE!
The cake - my most ambitious undertaking - turned out about as well as I could have hoped and was easier than I expected...not often you can say that!
 That there'd be a Texas Coral Snake, folks.
The entertainment...educational and slithery.

 Mr. Tom, the snake guy.
 The area - Franny's living room. (What a great mother-in-law.)
 The critters - lizards, turtles, toads, snakes - about 13 in all - oh my!

(Jaba the Hut?)
 The big guy...
Our friends with the critters...
The big finale - the Burmese Python.
Even Maggie wanted a turn.
One more treat just for Owen - the Ball Python.
 Top it off with a Bearded Dragon.
 Thanks Mr. Tom for a fun and educational birthday experience!
Let's sing so we can eat our Snake Cake!
 Only the tail was left...
Spoiled by such great family and friends...

 Happy Birthday Owen - we love you!
