This year for Liam’s birthday we had an untraditional couple of “party days”. Since my sister, Marcy, had just given birth to her first child we decided to head up to Northern Cal for Liam’s birthday weekend. We spent his actual birthday at home and celebrated with Grandpa Ray, Grandma Ruth, Uncle Michael and our new friend Jackie. We had a wonderful dinner at BJ’s and then came home for cake and presents. Liam was so excited to open all the presents…but when it the tape was too tough he just wanted Daddy to open it for him so he could get to the good stuff inside. He had so much fun and scored some super cool gifts.

When the tape gets tough…use your teeth.

We are big Buzz and Woody fans. We watched this movie 3 times on the way up to Grandma and Grandpa Thorne’s house. Made the trip a whole lot nicer!
I am not known for my cake decorating ability. I have an excuse for the way this one looks though….a two year old got to it. I forget how tall Liam is and sometimes neglect to push things far enough back on the counter. Liam’s little arms reached right up there, grabbed the edge of the cake caddy, and slid the whole thing off the counter. I looked over to see him holding the cake, by the little lip on the edge of the cake container, tipped completely on it’s side. The cake slumped to the bottom, the frosting now stuck to the plastic rather than the cake itself. All I could do was laugh. Good thing it was his cake!
Here is the cake after a few touch ups. He even managed to break the
candle when he pulled it all down, Daddy had to melt it back together.
He loved the singing and blowing out the candle this year….
we did it three times!
Success!
More to come from Liam’s NorCal birthday celebration!
