Caleb's birthday was yesterday so of course we celebrated. Caleb is a lover of all things trains so I knew we had to have a train cake if nothing else. So I searched online and came across this website with more train cake ideas than you could possibly imagine. I was so totally excited about the cake I was going to make it was all I could think about for days. It took a whole lot more work than I expected and I was more stressed out making that cake than I ever get during Witching Hour with all six kids on my own, but it turned out pretty darn cute (minus the fuschia caboose that looks more like a racing machine than anything you'd ever see on a train) but Caleb was thrilled and that's all that mattered.
Thanks to Melanie bringing down her fancy new computer technology, even Aunt Kak made it to the party and all of the boys had fun talking to her on the computer and she even got to sing Happy Birthday to Caleb as well as witness him blowing out his candles, which just so happened to be trick candles and thrilled Caleb to pieces because he thought they were fireworks and he loves fireworks, especially ones that don't BANG! It even felt like an extra special celebration having Kak there and I was sort of sad she couldn't stay longer.
After cake we opened presents and Caleb was ecstatic about everything he received which was everything Thomas the Train. His cousins and brothers also loved everything Caleb received which Caleb wasn't so happy about because he literally had to fight everyone off his new toys and ended up throwing a full on tantrum out of sheer frustration. But I think he had fun overall and so did we. Happy Birthday, Little Man!
P.S. Check out these plates and cups I stumbled across while buying cake stuff for Caleb's party. How perfect are they?
That is one incredible cake. Are you sad it's gone after all that hard work? Thanks for waiting a few minutes to let me be a part of it...that was awesome!! TOTALLY THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY WEEK!
P.S. You don't have to approve this comment, really it's just for you: Denver is SO STUNNINGLY GOOD LOOKING!! You better start keeping an eye on him...he's gonna be a heartbreaker.
Like I always say...the boys are building the most wonderful bank of memories! I feel sorry for their wives, whom they will expect to be just like you!
