Let Him Wear Cake!

Hi Everyone!

August 2, 2011 was one of the most special days

in our lives and Saturday we celebrated that wonderful

day with a birthday party for Avery.

  Hollis spent hours planning for his first birthday and she

and Paul hosted a fabulous party.  He was the perfect little one 

(of course).  Never shed a tear the entire time.  I thought

he might be a little intimidated by all of the people and other

children, but he wasn't.  I have hundreds of pictures, but

I'm going to restrain myself and just share a few.

Thank you everyone for allowing me to share our

precious grandson with you this past year.  Sometimes

Grandmothers get a little obnoxious, and I am certainly

guilty of that.  Just cannot help myself!

Let him wear cake!

Had to bathe away the cake!

 ~~~Happy family~~~

 ~~~Proud grandparents~~~

~~~Proud daddy's masterpiece "owl" cake~~~

 ~~~What was left after Avery attacked it~~~

 Rice crispy treat owls that

Hollis and I did. They were a hit. 

YUMMY!

This was her design.  So cute.  The nose and feet were

made out of the old fashion peanut candies that we

flattened with a rolling pin and cut into triangles.

This was just a fluke.  I couldn't find candy corn to

use and was desperate, when I came upon these

at the drug store.  So much better than candy corn

would have been.  These were iced with chocolate

frosting and the wings were royal icing. 

When he got his first glimpse of a bunch of people.

Look at me with my sweet bib.  Grammie made this

for his first birthday.  Needless to say we changed it

when it was cake time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

A wonderful time was had by all.  A special celebration

for a the sweetest little boy ever.
