2nd Birthday, Lightning-style!

Thomas turns 2 tomorrow, and we celebrated this past weekend with friends. Considering T's love of the movie Cars, the theme was a no-brainer.

I joined the world of cake decorating, renting a race car pan and creating a sugary, frosted Lightning McQueen. To anyone considering making and decorating a cake (it's lots of fun!): I highly recommend using very dark frosting colors for maximum impact on lips, teeth and fingers.
Cooper and Molly dig into the pizza.

Ethan loved the balloons.

We all cracked up at Thomas pushing Cooper (who's 4.5) around on his Lightning ride. It turned out T really just wanted him to get off so he could have a turn!

Just a little messiness.

Night #2: T got a black frosted piece. Yowza! His hands are still stained black...

Thanks! I'm sorry I didn't call you when I planned to--things got busy with work. Next week is pretty busy but the following week might work. I'll call you (for real).
