Cake for his actual b-day Choo choo

Some people sew, but I bake. I have always loved finding my way around a kitchen, especially to make something sweet. I still get a little excited when the weather gets cold because I get to go on a baking frenzy for the holiday. Anywho, I won't bore you all with Martha Stewart talk this time, but I wanted to share with you all one of our family traditions. The only cake that is hard to see is Abbie's. It was a ton of mini-ladybugs that were baked in icecream cones. It was a pain to decorate them all, but a breeze to serve them at the party. I must give credit to Adam who is always a major part of the decorating. He is sooo much more artistic than I am. Plus it is always nice to have a man in the kitchen. (Also since Adam does decorate the cakes----yes the piggy cake made a poop :( Why are pooping, farts, and burps forever funny)

Those are adorable, Laura! How fun to be able to do them yourself! I'm sure the kids go crazy over them! I didn't even notice the pig's pile until I read it there:p So funny! I could see my husband doing something like that too...but you're right, those things are always funny:p Thanks for sharing the kids' birthdays! Also you have such cute journal entry topics (very original!).
