Brithday Party

Allie's 1st day of school also happened to be her brother Justin's birthday. He loves Star Wars and Robots so when I was enlisted to make a cake for him it was easy to know that the cake should be a robot. And with the help of online cake photos we were set.

I of course rounded up my support staff (kids) to bake the cake one day and saved the decorating for the next.


(Allie is pretending to be electric beaters.)




Anna was excited that the frosting was not only yellow, but it tasted like lemon as well. She ate so much of it while we were making the cake she probably didn't need to eat any cake at the party. While decorating it Jennie, who sat with Anna watching me made several cute comments like, "WE are doing a good job." and "WE are almost done."



When it was time for the party Justin was excited to see the cake.



He had to protect it from everyone else.



At Justin's request we had a feast of fish sticks, french bread, fried eggplant and plums.



He got a lot of great presents like Salt Water Taffy,





A cool Colts ball,



A wind up robot,



a neat Star Wars ship (that unfortunately I don't even know what it is...I'm so behind in the Star Wars world)



and an awesome Yoda card with a light saber that actually glowed green while playing Star Wars music.



Then everyone helped put all 11 candles on the cake, we sang and he blew with all his might.





Justin, I hope your wish comes true!



Happy birthday!
