Elmo-palooza

I didn’t write about karate last week.  I wanted to, but I just didn’t have any time to put anything coherent together.  First, the gifts started arriving. . .

Then, I was too busy being all "wah, my baby is a year old"; and then came the baking. . . lots and lots of baking.  First came the cookies in the shapes of C’s, 1’s, little hands and little feet. . .

Then came the cupcakes, complete with Elmo cupcake papers and Elmo icing decorations.

Then came the baby block cake that took 5.5 hours to complete from start to finish.  It was four layers and took all kinds of patience and tools like a cake leveler (which is THE coolest baking invention EVER), and food coloring and Smoothie Skittles (which I don’t recommend eating although they are great for decorating).

The cake was a huge success as evidenced by the cake buzz. . .

As if the baking wasn’t enough, there was also decorating, and other food preparation. . .

Decorations

But all that really matters is that the party was a huge hit with Lil C.  She loved the balloons. . .

She loved all her gifts, including her clothes (that’s my girl!). . .

She also loved her new car.  Our living room is now a drive-in for watching Elmo’s World. . .

And playing with Big I has never been so much fun. . .
