After 3 months of denial (denial was on MY part) we finally had Benjamin's first birthday party! It was a small party, just family and a couple friends, but it was very nice. I decided this was going to be the party where I impress everyone with my awesome cake baking skills. I designed the cake I wanted to make, wrote down ingredients, weng shopping, baked the cakes, all I had to do was decorate! Then, FLOP! I will spare you all of the heart wrenching details as to why my cake FLOPPED, just know that it did...and I'm still a little upset about it! LOL! Instead, I decorated chocolate cupcakes with a white frosting I used food coloring to change blue (to match the theme of his party) and then formed the cupcakes into the shape of a 1. Woo hoo! NOT what I wanted, but it worked. So, we had cupcakes and ice cream, he opened all of his presents (he got lots of fun new toys!!) and then we said goodbye to everyone, INCLUDING his 4 big brothers who went to grandma's house for the night! Benjamin closed out his party with a nice 1 hour nap. :)
Thank you everyone for making our last little baby's FIRST birthday party such a success!!!
