Henry's Birthday Party!

It's been over a week already since Henry's birthday party. We had a great time celebrating our Big Guy. Our cousins came into town for the weekend to help us party - we also had lots of other family and buddies join us for Henry's big party too.

I was excited to bake my first carrot cake and it turned out well! I highly recommend this recipe: http://www.ebfarm.com/recipes/carrot-cake

Carrots flying everywhere.

The final result.

Henry carefully ate the strawberry "H" off of the top of his cake. When he finally tasted the frosting he started digging in a little bit more. He ended up eating about 1/3 of his cake...pretty good for a little man! He eventually started getting a little sugar buzz - shaking his head back and forth in his highchair and laughing. 

Sugar!

It was shortly after this that he raised his hands in the air to tell us he was "ALL DONE" with his cake.

And we're done.

We've had a lot going on since then, including a road trip to Milwaukee, a Halloween party, friends in town from Duluth, and a round of what seems like the flu. Happy November!
