November is always the begining of the craziness for us. Right after Halloween, our family jumps right into celbrating birthdays with Jeff's on November 3rd and Kamden's on the 10th. Mixed in with birthdays, our anniversary is November 21st and then Thanksgiving. December is just as hectic with my birthday on the 15th, Christmas, and Ethan's birthday on the 27th. Poor Owen is stuck all the way in July all by himself.
This year for Jeff's birthday we had friends and family over to watch the BSU game so, obviously, the cake had to fit the party. I tried a new marshmallow fondant recipe (thanks Kalia!) and it turned out pretty good:
Owen really enjoyed the cake!
After Jeff's party we got to go celebrate our friend, Elisa's birthday. She really enjoyed the awesome Mickey Mouse cake her mom made!
And then 4 days after that we celebrated Kamden's 4th birthday. At first he had asked for a Triceratops cake with "Long, long horns that go all the way upstairs to Owen's room and back to the TV room" but I wasn't sure how I was going to pull that one off, and we did a dinosaur last year, so this year we went with...a caterpillar!
He loved it and while he was helping me make it he kept giving me hugs and saying "It's perfect!"
Here he is with the much anticipated and desired "rat babies" he asked for:
And this awesome tractor that opens up to hold all of his treasures. He loves packing thigs around with him...
Owen kept stealing the candy from the birthday table...
The "thrilled" birthday boy...we take birthdays very seriously around here...
Making his wish:
And what better way to end a celebration than with a stylish and festive {clean} underwear hat?!
Thanks to everyone who has helped us celebrate! Now...on to THANKSGIVING!
