paper airplanes & birthdays

Cubby went and picked up this giant hamburger cake for the kids.  Half of it was frosting, the kids were even choking it down.  It sure did look perty though.  It was in competition with my dog/horse/whatever animal cake I made.

I made this little string paper airplane banner in like 10 minutes before the party started.  It was a slam dunk.

Jude's homies

We did it!  We made it to one.  I can't believe this little guy is already one.  It's gone by so fast.  I know that's so cliche to say but it really has.  I was kind of sad when Jude turned one, because I love the baby stage.

Jude's birthday was a slam dunk.  Cub and I were so sick for a week during christmas.  We both caught the "hurricane disease" from Adam and Chelsea.  Whatever they brought back from Thailand, we caught.  It was the plague.  At 6:00 pm on Jude's birthday, we decided to throw him a little bash.  Cub and I think that baby parties are so worthless.  We vowed just to have a little party with me, him, and Jude when he was one.  We invited some family living up the street and 10 minutes later we had a party.   Cousins appeared out of nowhere and we had a dance party with Jude's people.  I whipped up a carrot cake with some cream cheese frosting.  Jude would not stop digging into his treasure.  Next year we're going all out with a pinata and a techno dance party.  Bobbi's family and Chelsea showered him/me with presents.  Slam dunk.
