The day of Marley's Bday party started with a present from Nana and Grandpa Keith...a stuffed moose!
Ronnie was the first to arrive and he and Marley broke out the Thomas bubbles...
It was a beautiful day for a pool party and Uncle Frank got Marley an inflatable shark that was a huge hit with the kids!
He wanted a Thomas the Train cake...of course, but if you order them from a bakery they are outrageously expensive! So I thought I would try my hand at making one myself. Now those of you who know me know that I did not inherit my father's artistic jean. I am however adventurous and stubborn...that and Marley was only 3 so it's not like his friends will be making fun of his ugly cake! Anyway, this was my practice drawing with blue frosting on a paper towel and it turned out ok...
and then once the pressure was on it turned out like this...and this was the second attempt! Needless to say there was a lot of frosting on top of the cake!! But it tasted good and Marley recognized him as Thomas, so all's well that ends well!
We sang Happy Birthday and Marley blew out his imaginary candles...
Marley got some Thomas stickers and decided that Rachel's chest was a great place to put them...he's no dummy! His dad was proud!
Someone couldn't hang....
