Birthday Parties!

Saturday was Colin's 7th (!) birthday, so we had a combo party for his birthday and for Brenna's 1st birthday. I spent lots of hours making two cakes. For Colin, a Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets cake.

And for Brenna, a Fisher Price Rock-A-Stack.

Colin and Brenna nearly lost their Aunt Steppy to a heart attack or a stroke when she was driving the cakes to their house, but she made it. I HATE driving cakes. I don't mind if they're plain old sheet cakes, but plain old sheet cakes are not good enough for these kids!
We had lots of yummy food. My sister makes the best hamburgers in the world. Seriously. Corey cooked them on the grill. =) He cooked some hot dogs too. And we had chips and dips and everything was yummy! (I was STARVING! I'd spent the whole day in the kitchen and not eaten anything!)
Colin opened his presents first. I gave him a Galactic Heroes set. Pretty cool. His parents gave him tickets to the circus for the end of the month. Aunt Steppy gets to go too!!! =)

Brenna was more interested in her first birthday card than in any of her presents. I gave her a Penny Piano. I have no idea what kind of animal she is (everybody else said zebra..I thought she was a giraffe..) but she plays music and teaches musical stuff. Very cute.

Cake and ice cream time was fun. I had to chop up the cakes that I had worked so hard on. *Sigh* Chocolate cake for Colin, vanilla cake for Brenna. Brenna was so cute eating her cake!
