an elmo kind of birthday

With Lewis' birthday a week after Owen's, we had a much lower key celebration this year. When my sisters were visiting, we went ahead and celebrated Ellen's birthday (which was yesterday) and Lewis' at the same time.

Lewis loves Elmo, so I made an Elmo cake. I have to give credit to Marquita Miller for teaching me enough about cake decorating to do something fairly simple like Elmo! It's really fun, but one or two cakes a year is all I can handle. Here he is:



















Lewis tries to touch the cake.


























We all wore Elmo party hats, which really confused Lewis!





















Lewis again opted for ice cream instead of cake.

Shelley... you did a wonderful job on the Elmo cake. Store bought cakes just don't have the love like a home made Elmo cake. Oh Owen looks cute in his pear outfit!
