Round Two for Addi

Today we had another birthday party for Addison with the family and a few of our friends & their kids! Cohen & Addi were soooo excited to see the family. We weren't sure if anyone would make it our way because of the weather, but by Saturday morning it was good and they were traveling on the only open highway so the road was good. My big challenge for this party was making and decorating the cake. I decided I wanted to make her cake homemade this year. Many of my girlfriends here had made their kids' cakes so I thought I can too....right? YES, I was right!! I made her a homemade chocolate butter recipe cake with a buttercream frosting. It turned out to be easier than I thought it would be! I was so proud of my finished product...I couldn't believe how well it turned out and it even tasted good!! Addi had a great time with everyone and enjoyed being the center of attention again! Elmo waiting to be decorated!
