Justin just had his 1st Birthday! We celebrated it Saturday, October 27th with some of his friends from the Mom's club. Although he was recovering from a fever, he behaved very well and I think he had lots of fun. It was a trucks and cars theme in red, blue, and green. We had sandwiches, fruits and veggies and some small finger food for the kids. I handmade the big cake and his little "smasher" cake with help from my best friend Leah. It was a strawberry cake with buttercream icing. We made the icing and fondant from scratch. It turned out really well and tasted so delicious.
Justin really liked his cake but ate it very carefully. We missed out on the cake flinging and cake shoving, but I'm very thankful because I didn't have to clean up a huge mess :) There was a road around the cake with dotted yellow lines down the center. The first thing Justin did with the cake was carefully pick the yellow dotted lines off and eat them. Then play with the colorful icing on top. We had to help smash one corner so he would actually eat some cake instead of just icing. He really enjoyed tearing the wrapping paper off the presents and playing with the bows. Some toys had twistie ties on it and one had to be put together, so he got a little upset when he couldn't play with the toy right away. I think he had alot of fun at his 1st birthday party!
