We celebrated Nate's birthday at my parents' house this weekend. The weather was gorgeous and Nate was blessed to be surrounded by his four grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
I spent Friday morning baking a cake and cupcakes.

Obviously an M&M themed party. Be sure to notice the coordinating balloons and streamers in later pictures.
We spent the afternoon with our friends, Christina and Adrian, before heading to NJ Friday evening.
Friday night Nate tried his first Oreo.

I love the crossed legs

Party favors (Gerber baby food containers filled with candy)

What an action packed weekend! It went by too quickly, as I knew it would, but now I have the wonderful memories to look back on (and Nate will have about 300 pictures to look at when he is older). Happy Birthday, Nate!

Great post to remember a fun weekend. Party was a definite success! This will be hard to top next year :)
Agreed. I'm already thinking of ways to use the barrel cake concept. I think it would be a cute way to improve the old standby dirt cake--instead of a flowerpot you can make an edible barrel.
cute idea! with oreo crumbs on top, gummy worms hanging over the side, fake flowers, etc. love it!
