This weekend was pretty much Gabe’s Birthday Extravaganza 2.0. All SaturdayI was at my parent’s using my dad’s kitchen, his cake pans, an his extra set of hands to make my balloon inspired cake. Then Sunday it was holy-shit-people-are-coming cleaning palooza! But in the end, we had a house full of people who loved my son, a delicious cake, and balloon hats for everyone!
Birthday mornings are for epic epic EPIC meltdowns (Who knew?!) and no pants.
Hi Auntie Maris and Uncle Alex!
Party ready!
Balloon fishing!
Balloon cake!
Elsa Balloon!
The cake turned out so well! Balloons inside the cake! Well done.
Next time, more cake balls inside and a third layer i think. So fun to do though! Like a science experiment!
That cake is seriously impressive. And loooooooove Gabe’s face plant. Gabe and I understand each other. 🙂
I came to the comments to say these things, but you said it much better. I fully concur with your entire comment! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thank god for skype! Next we need to figure out how to do long-distance cake… So glad you guys had such a wonderful day celebrating gabe 🙂
Is that one of those rotating aquarium lamp things? I have been eyeing one, convinced Z would love it, but felt like I kept seeing negative reviews for longevity/durability. Let me know how his is!
Yes! It is a rotating aquarium lamp. It has a timer mode so it can go off after a short period of time if you wanted to use it at bed time. I have no idea how much these things cost, but I would not spend more than $30? It is really fun for Gabe who likes to spot Nemo and Dory as they swim by, but we won’t use it as a night light because I don’t want to mess with our bedroom routine. It is a really nice, calming distraction though, and he can sit and watch it along for whole minutes! If it isn’t too much money, I definitely recommend it! Or add it to birthday lists. 😉
So impressed with the cake- what a wonderful 2nd birthday for Gabe!
You guys watch survivor??
Is that what’s on TV in that one pic? Because we don’t.
