I realize that I am a bit slow but...here are some pictures of Peyton's birthday party back in January. His birthday is January 13th, but we had the party on the 12th. We had such a nice party for him. I made a ton of food, and made a cake for Peyton and another for everyone else. Craig tested out his cake decorating skills and made an Elmo cake for Peyton and a larger Elmo cake for everyone else. I was bummed that I didn't take a picture of the big cake before I cut into it. Just spaced it out, but here is what it looked like anyways. Oh, and we made homemade rootbeer. Craig had to drive to Winston-Salem 45 minutes away (oneway) to get dry ice. What kind of dinky town is this Mayberry that we live in anyways! The kids loved the dry ice in the rootbeer and it tasted really yummy. We made some homemade ice cream so we had rootbeer floats. It was a blast. Peyton really got "into" his cake and made a complete mess. He had to have a quick bath when he was done. After the party, I took one look at his highchair and thought it was ruined, but amazingly enough all of the red and black dye came out and it looks good as new. I still can't believe that my "baby" is one. I still love to rock him to sleep at night. It is the only time really that he holds still and snuggles with me. Don't get me wrong, he is definetly a momma's boy, but he usually is holding on to my leg or wants to be carried around. I think he is about 30 pounds so that is quite a workout. Craig and I are enjoying the time we have to spend with Peyton and really feel our love for him grow even more everyday. Well, enough of the mushy stuff, on to the pictures!
Here is the cake that we made for everyone. I really am bummed that I didn't get a picture of this cake before cutting into it. Maybe one of our guests did!
Craig decorated Peyton's cake like Elmo. I think it turned out really cute!
Here is Peyton with his buddy Joseph. Peyton looks so tough!
Mmmm...now what do I do with this?
Eat it, smash it, smear it, or whatever! It didn't take him long to figure this out!
I gave him a fork thinking that he could be a little bit cleaner if he used it. This just created one more thing to clean up. Peyton loves to smear his food on his head, behind his ear, and his favorite place to store his favorite foods for later is down on the side of his highchair.
We gave him some icecream as well. He really didn't know what to do with it, so he just smeared it around.
Look mom! I made a mess, and I liked it!
Maybe there are still a few clean spots...so much for his bib!
We are off to the bathtub. Craig made the frosting with butter, so Peyton was really greasy and hard to hold onto! Made a mess of the bathtub! Notice the huge blob of frosting on his diaper!
All cleaned up and ready to open presents! I love this shirt! Josh and Joe McGowan gave it to Peyton!
Whoops! A sideways view of Peyton's highchair. You can totally tell where he was sitting because it is the only parts that are still clean.
