Owen's First Birthday

This is the cake I made for Owen's birthday party.


I made all the animals out of fondant.

These last two are from Owen's Second Party.

What's Owen Thinking?

Mmm. . . that was a yummy tasting smurf.

Cakes

Here are some cakes that I made recently. I've been trying to play with fondant more. It's going ok but I think I still need to practice.

It's supposed to be a racquet and racquetballs.

And Batman.

Christmas

Here are some pictures from our Christmas.

I really wanted to decorate the outside of the house so I got Lily's sidewalk chalk and used them to draw some things on our garage door. Lily helped a little and then some of the neighbor kids came and also decided they wanted to help. They drew some really random things on the door but it rained the next day, so I got to draw this.

These are from Christmas Eve. Our tradition is to go to church, go look at some lights, and then come home and open stockings. Owen is very excited about my candy.

Owen is not a happy boy. Even though he looks very GQ-ish.


Happy Owen.

Next morning.

So the day before I wrapped Cody's presents and had Lily help me. I wrapped up a DVD for him and told Lily to go put it under the tree. I'm in our bedroom and I can hear:

Lily: "Daddy we have a present for you."

Cody: "What is it?"

Lily: " It's a movie."

Cody:" Really, what's it called?"

Lily: "Community."

So next year if I have Lily help me wrap something I have to make sure she doesn't know what it is. Community, by the way is very funny, not 100% clean but not too bad.

And Cody loving all the Lobo gear he got.
