No More Frosting

 February is one big party in our house. Starting with mine.... I promised pictures....so here is the pretty table the girls set and the garden cart I was so excited about....my family made it such a sweet day that I didn't even mind getting older. :)

Since there were 20 days before Shane's birthday, we threw Valentine's in there and had cupcakes....but to Shane's delight, soon it was time for his birthday cake! Actually, we did Shane's cake after meeting Wed night before his birthday.He chose a grasshopper cake - a white cake with chocolate and mint....yum.

                   Time for gifts....and who needs wrapping paper with artistic kids in the house?

 I think you'll see by the end of this post that we currently have a major obsession with Calvin and Hobbes in our house!

I got the biggest kick out of Shane reading what Uncle Justin wrote on his birthday card....

                         Anyone surprised that Justin didn't write something serious and sappy?

                                Notice he made a grasshopper out of a paperclip for the cake topper.

Before we recovered from that round of cake and ice cream, there was more flour and powdered sugar flying around our kitchen for Ivey's birthday! She opted to make her own cake and decorate it - it is something she loves doing. Morgan confessed that when he saw her wielding the piping bag with black frosting and was going to freehand a picture, he was thought, "Oh Boy, this could be bad." She said she did too, but she went for it! Turned out so cute....

                                            Three cakes in a month and they're smiling big....

       Pictures I took on one of the days in between their birthdays....how did they get so big so fast? I now confuse Morgan and Shane at a glance. Morgan thought I had lost my mind when I called  him "Buddy" the other day.....but I thought he was Shane for a minute!

                              We had a great month.... but no more frosting for awhile, please.
