It's Party Time!

Lainey made the cupcakes and the frosting. At times, she even used the mixer all by herself.  She really does love to cook and help in the kitchen.  Hopefully, that will continue for her.
Some of the decorations

The cupcakes 

The Birthday Boy. He loved the decorations, all the attention and especially the cupcakes. 
I would post more but I am exhausted. I poured my heart and soul into this party and couldn't have been more pleased with how it turned out.  Even though he'll never remember it, I will. And seeing Beau look over at the fish decorations and reach for them throughout the day made it all worthwhile.

Birthday Cake!

Lainey and Daddy baked Beau's birthday cake. They also made the frosting but I did the actual frosting of the cake. Lainey begged for cake all day and finally got to dive in after dinner last night.  Even then, all she did was lick the frosting off.  She is definitely my kid!
This lucky boy got a cake for his actual birthday and will get cake at his party. Wouldn't it be fun if every birthday you got to smash cake? I think so!
I love that he's squeezing the cake so hard that blue frosting is oozing between his fingers. 
By the time he was done there was cake everywhere, frosting in his hair, all over his face and he kept grabbing his hair with sticky fingers and ended up looking a little like Jack Nicholson. It was great!
