Nothing says "happy birthday" like a pyrotechnic candle
Happy birthday TubaDad!
Sorry you had to work on your birthday, but hope the "creative" kiddo-present-wrapping jobs, enchilada dinner, icecream cake, sticky hugs, and fireworks on top of your cake made you smile like you make us smile.
We love you!
PS: If you too need a candle like this, it comes in pink, yellow, and blue, and I got it at mybirthdaycandle.com.

ReplyDeleteWe're using those candles with the song turned off for Chinese New Year celebration here - they are amazing!
Happy Birthday, Tubadad!

ReplyDeleteI got a kick out of TubaDad looking up at the smoke alarm then causally walking away..with a look of "oh I better fan that smoke away from there!"! LOL
So did the candle finally stop singing?

ReplyDeleteThat is one really neat candle. We may have to figure out who in our family will get one of those this year. And I love that one of the sweeties is holding her nose at the end because of the smoke.

Wow - I'm completely in awe that you found one of those! We got ours in Nanchang, China - when we picked up our daughter. I've looked for them since then! We used hers on her first birthday with us (2 yrs old) and we had completely forgotten how pyrotechnic it was! LOL! Thanks for posting this! :)

Happy Birthday Tuba Dad!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the babies in my travel group turned 1 while we were in China and our guide got a candle like this. It's SOOOO cool. I'm stoked to know I can get them in the states too! Thanks for sharing!
Happy Birthday Tubadad. As a father of 2 great boys I know how our kids can put the Fun back in Birthdays.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday TubaDad! And Happy Birthday to you, M3, a day early!
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to the lifebook template site: www.MyStoryLifebooks.com
I used the template but expanded it quite a bit. Still, it was a great way to begin this overwhelming project that has been sitting on the back burner for over 3 years!
Hope you and your hubby have a fantastic birthday week!!!
What is that thing they are standing on - where did you get it? We so need one. If anyone reading this knows please tell me.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to both of you!
Hi Samantha and Woody: it's a Learning Tower. They come in white, natural, dark, and red. We added locking castor wheels to the bottom of ours so it can move around the kitchen easily.
ReplyDeleteWe used the exact same candle for our son's birthday (and our daughter's) this year, bought at our local grocery store. We first discovered them, though, IN CHINA-- we were in Chongqing, where they make them. They're called lotus candles (the ones we bought in China are much more impressive than the ones made there and shipped off to our local grocery store). Still, pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteHi Erin: They're not reusable. Although they will keep spinning and playing Happy Birthday until you snip the little wire.
ReplyDeleteOkay That was pretty cool!! Being a Pryo Tech myself, Awesome! Being late to the party... Happy B-Day Tuba Dad!!!
ReplyDelete:)
Happy birthday to you both. Gosh last week was so crazy with bday, vday and CNY (which we really failed at this year). Anyway, birthday wishes from CO!
