Ian’s 2nd
I thought I would post some of the more positive pics of Ian’s b-day. In spite of the day getting off to a rough start with the ants, we managed to celebrate. We invited some friends over who have three boys, 7,3 and 1. The two youngest really get along well with Ian. They came for a mexican(ish) lunch and then we went to a local arcade complete with bumper cars. Ireen and their oldest really enjoyed the bumper cars when they could get through the wild and crazy “line” of children all eager to push their way to the front. Ian and the younger boys enjoyed the more subdued kiddie rides.
We got home and had the birthday cake. As soon as I lit the candles and we started singing, Ian blew them out. I had to relight them 3 times before the Happy Birthday song was over. It’s almost as if he was saying, “Look, I’m 2 and I know what to do with these candles.” It was a big day for Ian and he was more than ready to go to bed that night. He got a “2″ sicker from our neighbor which he proudly stuck on his PJs and showed off before “night, night”.

Great job with the star-shaped sprinkles! They look so well done.

Star, thanks! I was reading in my cookbook and it suggested that I use a cookie cutter to make the shapes…genius! The cake was marble with mocha frosting (all from scratch) – not exactly a kid cake but Ian LOVED it.

I absolutely LOVE picture #8. Ian’s smile while looking over his birthday cake is pretty special, too. Great job on the cake, Andrea.
