Happy Birthday Nate!

Family birthday supper. (Friend party is next week.)



Finding Presents
Erik hid all Nate's presents around the house.
To find them, Nate followed string that ran from one present to the next.
Meg ran them all back to the family room.



The string trail ended in the recently completed playroom at Nate's new train table.






Nate's birthday cake request: Curious George.

Specifically a replica of this Curious George car. I had to glue many sections of cake together with frosting to create the shape. Due to a spring warm spell, the frosting became softer as the day wore on, and by cake time, poor George's car (pictured here pre-melt) looked like it had been in a fender bender and was in need of a good wash :)


Birthday Boys: Nate and Jud have the same birthday. (Jud and Jan are our friends and current apartment tenants.)

What a happy birthday boy. Great job on the cake! Who needs to know it melted?! Take a full pic of the train table - that looks fun.

The birthday boy's smile says it all!! A big success! The cake is a prize-winner, Amy! Wow! Another future business for you to consider: children's birthday cakes!!
Love you all!
