We all had a blast at Burkley's first birthday party!
The theme was Dr. Seuss and we had a whimsical time!
So many of our wonderful friends and family came to help us celebrate.
Take a look...
(and- as far as photo-credit is concerned- I loaded my pics, my sister's, and my mom's all on to my computer after the party and they all got jumbled up, so I can't tell for sure whose are whose, but I think these are mostly my mom's and my sister's!)

| The big cake...we ended up not even cutting it...it took us HOURS to make this, but it was all for show, I guess! :) Don't worry- there was a different cake our guests ate. |

Looks like you all had fun. Loved all the pictures, especially the frosting hair ones, so funny! What kind of cake did you make for Burkley?
ReplyDeleteOh! I meant to include that in this blog post-- I made this one from the Natural Parents Network site: http://naturalparentsnetwork.com/healthy-eating-and-living/#cake
ReplyDeleteIf you click on the second listing; "Healthy First Birthday Cake Recipes," I did the first one on that page- the one with bananas and applesauce. However, we used regular frosting and it had food coloring, which I think was the source of a minor reaction he had later that day on his belly. :( But, the recipe was super easy and pretty tasty...the consistency of the cake was a little, um, rubbery?, (I made a few extra muffins out of the batter and gave those to my friend's 16 month old). :) He seemed to like it just fine!
He gets cuter every day, I think. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Burkley had a great day! The cakes are both impressive, but I like the pictures of him wearing the mini one best :) Beautiful work on the party!
