We discovered that trick candles are too much for a new 5 year old after 10pm! Poor Ben, we had just woken him up after he fell asleep coming home from Chuck E Cheese last night, but he couldn’t miss his cake and presents! I probably should have skipped the trick candles and used  the sparkler ones BUT …. I went with both. The sparkler ones started to melt and bend over because of the trick ones but they looked neat and were actually “trick” ones too. Ben had been blowing candles out for quite a few minutes before I got the camera and started this video. He was so worn out that he only had a few bites of cake! I’m just so glad they didn’t bring him to tears (he was close at one point before I started filming). The presents cheered him up though! Tomorrow is Ben and Jamie’s roller rink party and I think they both can handle trick candles in the middle of the day….right?

Here are some pre-video pictures:
