Today was full of cakes and icing and more cakes and more icing!  I decided I want to make Henry's cake for his first birthday, and I need to practice beforehand so I have at least a small inkling of what I'm supposed to do.  After talking to my in-laws, we decided I would make my practice cake be the birthday cake for the birthday celebration they will be having tomorrow for three of their childrens' birthdays.  It was a busy day, but it was fun!  My mother-in-law knows how to ice a cake, that's for sure!  Her orange layer looked much better than my green layer.

This is the layer I iced.  It looks like Shrek, doesn't it!?

Here they are stacked on each other.  We also put a purple cupcake on top, so that's why there is a little purple icing in the orange.

I took this picture of Henry and John at my in-law's house.  I love Henry's little half-smile.  They are both so cute!  :o)

We also got our family pictures back from a couple weeks ago.  They are wonderful!  There are so many good ones.  Here are just a few.

I love the editing done on this photo.  It reminds me of an old, old picture.

I love this picture of us!

Here is probably my absolute favorite of all of them, but so many of them are my favorites that it's hard to choose just one!

I wonder what the rest of the weekend has in store for us!
