Even with everything going on we squeezed in a birthday party for the January birthdays. McKenzie really likes red velvet cake, so we made cupcakes for the kids. Cream cheese frosting is harder to work with that a buttercream, but I actually kind of like how the spikes turned out. (They were supposed to be roses... we tried!).
The non-birthday boys were very excited to have an excuse to eat cupcakes. Can you tell?
Daxton has been cranky a lot on this trip. Apparently sugar in the form of a cupcake is one way to cure that...after we proved to him that the frosting wasn't going to poison him.
Each kid was able to open their birthday presents from Nana and Papa.
Each kid received their new birthday outfits. Daxton received a new Lego train too. He loves putting those pieces together and taking them apart over and over again. It stayed right there on the counter until we left South Jordan. That's where he wanted to play with it.
McKenzie received a new hedgehog book, and a set of hedgehog salt and pepper shakers. She's had her eye on Alysha's for awhile now and is very excited to take them home and start using them for dinner. Thanks for a great party!
