More birthdays!

March is starting to become a busy month for birthdays. First mine and then exactly seven days (and many years) later comes my nephew Connor's birthday. Jake almost kept up the seven day difference when he was born last year, but his birthday comes six days after Connor's. So last weekend was a busy one for us when both of the boys had their birthday parties.

Megan asked me to make a birthday cake for Jake to match his owl themed party. Hayden and I made a test cake a few weeks ago to see how it would turn out and more importantly to give us an excuse to eat cake. Friday night we got busy working on his birthday and smash cake. Hayden baked and helped get the cakes ready to go. I got to do the decorating. After a long night the cakes were packed up and ready to go.

The first stop was Connor's six birthday party in the park. He had a Pikachu themed party with all of his friends from school. I can't believe he is getting so old already.
The poor Pikachu pinata didn't last very long once the boys started swinging.Connor opening some of his presents.Getting ready to blow out the candles.
The girls enjoyed their snacks out on the playground.Jake was really concerned about the cupcakes and who would share with him.

After Connor's party we dropped off Jake's cakes and headed to New Braunfels for the night. We decided to stay at a bed and breakfast for the night rather than drive all the way back to Austin for the night and back down the next day.Jake's CakesJake getting ready to dig in.I think this boy might like his cake.He pretty much destroyed it.

Here is Jake's birthday gift. Tim is a huge Cubs fan, so we had to make Jake a Cubs gift.
