Owen's birthday: the cake

We had a relaxed family celebration for Owen's first birthday. My parents were able to visit for part of the weekend, and Jeff's parents came across town for lunch and a little partying with us.

Here we are at the lunch table. In Owen's honor, we had Baked Macaroni & Cheese, veggies & dip, apple slices & banana chunks, cake, & ice cream.

For Owen's cake I decided on Spiced Cake with Buttercream Frosting. I believe that it is the ugliest cake ever created. And while I wasn't very pleased with the finished product, it was ok.

After he was served, Owen examined what this thing was...

...and decided to give it a whirl. He thought it over...

...took a second bite...

...and the rest is birthday history!

He loved eating his cake...and playing with the crumbs...the plate...

...and ended up being a very messy Birthday Boy.

But what a way to celebrate!
