Little Bakers

Sam and Zak were very excited for Matthew's birthday this year -- the anticipation started building about a week before the big day. I think Sam was a little disappointed when I told him we weren't going anywhere to celebrate -- we'd just be at home with the family.

Fortunately, by the time they had picked out presents and wrapped them, hung balloons and made the cake -- staying at home didn't seem so bad after all!

While Matthew was at work, the cake baking began!
Everybody had a chance to stir.

We went to visit Grandpa and Nana several weeks
ago and we did not take one picture, but aren't the
aprons Nana personalized for the boys cute!

Making the frosting -- and licking the beaters!

Zak wanted a blue cake and Sam
wanted green -- so we did both!

Sadly, there are no pictures of the finished cake -- very colorful blue and green stripes with an abundance of sprinkles and candles. We were too busy eating it to take a picture!
