The Celebration
I'm finally getting around to the photos of Ben's birthday celebration. We had a great day spending time together and enjoying Ben. He requested a race track cake, and although I'm not a great cake decorator, he and I were both happy with the result!
Ben had preschool in the morning and we made little mini cupcakes for him to take (see center picture.) I scanned some of Ben's artwork and printed mini pictures. Ben helped glue the art to toothpicks and put them in the cupcakes. They were a hit.
As for gifts, Ben had been asking for Star Wars Legos and a remote control car and lets just say he was not disappointed. We had planned to go the the park after he opened his gifts but he was too into the Legos. In fact here we are a month later, and the Legos are still the favorite. He's always taking the little ships apart and putting them back together.

Shelley,
Those pictures are so fun! I love the one showing Jake playing with him. I think it's so fun how you capture the little details. And the cake looks amazing to me. Love Anne
I think his cake turned out really cute! Looks like you are a good cake decorator to me! I'm glad Ben had a good birthday and wish we could have been there to share the fun! Love you!
You make some of my favorite cakes ever. Still can't get the cute flip flops cake out of my mind.
What a fun party and really great cake!
Miles is totally into those Lego sets too-- he can spend hours-- too me it seems like a pretty good toy-- to entertain and challenge him like that (plus-- in case he is a dentist in the future, all that perceptual and fine motor stuff can't hurt!)
