We celebrated Colin's 1st birthday on Saturday! Poor Colin was so tired because he refused to take an afternoon nap - you will notice that his huge toothy grin really isn't in any of the pictures. In fact, in some pictures he looks almost comatose! But Megan had fun opening up his presents and he did enjoy the sugar rush from the cake.
This was my very, very first attempt at decorating a cake. I even made the frosting myself (confession: the cake was still from a box). Nothing fancy, but I was pleasantly surprised with myself. So Robyn, Lisa, Aubrey...any other professional cake decorators out there...it looks okay, right? :) (Second confession: I was so worried about decorating the top that I forgot to put frosting in between the layers. Oops!)
And this is my favorite part about 1st birthdays!!

Happy Birthday Colin. Awesome video... looks like he enjoyed it. I can't believe you gave him the whole cake. Be honest Marilee- did you dig in with him too after the video stopped? jk
I love that about birthdays too. I usually make them a mini cake that they can destroy, but I usually strip them down to a diaper before I let them loose to make the cleanup a bit easier.
Collin I hope you had a wonderful birthday and we are excited to spend the morning with you on Monday. Marilee your cake looked awesome. I'm not professional by the way. It looks great!!
Happy Birthday Colin!! The cake looks great Mar! I wouldn't consider myself a proffesional. Colin is such a sweet boy. He is darling even if he isn't smiling in all the pictures. The picture of the four of you turned out really good. We miss seeing your cute family.
Mare--I'm so proud of you for making his birthday cake. You did great. Happy birthday Colin! We miss you guys and hope to see you this summer.
