Birthday Boy

Here are the pics from Ben's birthday "party" (just us, but it's still a party right??) I guess I really went over the top with blue, but it just happened that way. I love making a fancy cake so here his is. I actually made 2, which ended up being nice when we had a video malfunction for the first one and had to sing to him a second time (see the video).

I attempted to make the cake argyle, but I made fondant from scratch and it was not easy to use, hence, it is not my best creation, but not my worst either. I had fun making it and Amelia helped me frost the cake and told me the whole way how beautiful it was. She also helped me wrap up Ben's gifts including picking the paper and bags for each one and where it should go after it was wrapped. He loved his cake and opening up his stash of balls. He loved hammering his workbench and looking at his books. Thank you everyone for your calls, texts, emails and gifts. Ben had such a good time and so did Amelia. It was a great birthday. Can't wait for next time.
