Blake's birthday party was a huge success! Lots of friends and family, games, toys, yummy BBQ, cold drinks and cake...what more can you ask for. I was a little nervous to see how our little house was going to hold 60 plus people, but it worked out great. Luckily our back yard converts into a great entertaining yard. I was so busy running around, I sadly didn't get many pictures...next party I'm putting someone in charge of photos!
I didn't want the kids to get bored so we set up a bunch of things to keep them busy. We had a water table, a ball pit (thanks to Aunt Deb), a small jumpy house (thanks to Tom), and a water park. The kids were in heaven! I was happy to see them having so much fun.
For some reason I felt pressure to make Blake's first b-day cake. I felt it was a mothers duty to make the cake they destroy. Let me tell you I destroyed my oven trying to make this cake...it was a mess! I used to be able to bake, but for some reason I have lost my touch. but in the end I was happy with the result.
Blake didn't know what to make of the cake...he liked to poke it with the candles, but he wasn't too into eating it. I found this to be a HUGE surprise because he typically eats anything and destroys anything. who knew...
Birthday party: Take Two next weekend with the Baptista's!
