The Main Event

Hunter's birthday isn't until Thursday, but we wanted to take advantage of the long weekend and had his party on Sunday. We had the party at MeMa's house (that's Brent's mom) in Round Top for two reasons - one, our house is on the market and we didn't want to have to turn down a showing if we were in the middle of the party and two, it was a farm/barnyard party and where better to have such a party than the farm???

Here are some pictures of the main event.

We got the firetruck ride-on toy out as soon as humanly possible because it was loads of fun for everyone. (Thanks Grandmommy!)

The following pic was the best one we got of him on his new rocking horse. I don't know if we got video or not, but he was a natural at bucking on his bronco (thanks Mema!!).




If you can't tell, the animals are cookies, the fence is pretzels, and the rest is cake and tons of icing. This was an all-day project for Mommy, but WELL worth it. Hunter's piece was the sun, which seemed much more pale yellow the night before, but ended up looking like mustard when it was officially all over him. He did not know what to think at first - "Mommy, what have you put in front of me!!!???!" Once he tasted it though, he was hooked. His hands were in his mouth most of the time, but we had to ask him how big he was so that he could get it all into his hair. It was really a blast! I'll upload a video (or two) as soon as I have the time.

We had to take a break for a quick bath (obviously one was needed). Then we had some more time with the family before everyone had to leave. It was a great day and we are so grateful that our families could join us.

And the wondrous video montage....

Thank you!! It was really fun, but I probably got a bit carried away (ask Brent - he'll vouch for that).

And thank you also for the new blog design!!!
