We had a party!

For the Leafy Boy. I love two-year-old parties. They just are so wide-eyed and humble about it all. And that Leaf is as scrumptious as a buttery roll.

At the party there were many friends. There were even a few rocking rounds of "Simon Says".

There was music.

And dancing.

When it came time to open presents, there were plenty of friends to watch.

And plenty of help from the friends.

The presents were a hit.

And, of course, there was cake.

I accidentally blew the candles out while demonstrating how it is done (my demonstration was a little too realistic) but it was okay, because the cake was very delicious.

I was pretty proud of my rock/worm/dirt/mountain cake. It rocked our taste buds, too. I'd say it was a great party.

Of course, I have to comment on your beautiful cake! Way to go mom! There's something very challenging about pulling off a perfect (and I mean perfect in that mom-kind-of-perfect as opposed to the Martha-Stewart-kind-of-perfect) AND throw a b-day party that leaves me in awe...even of myself. I made an aquarium cake once...let's not discuss actually cause I kinda remember that left me in tears before it was all said and done. Ok! Well done mama!
