Landon had his 2nd Birthday on November 21st. I just can't believe how much he's grown in the last two years. It has been such a crazy experience as a mother watching him go from his first steps and the first smiles to being a toddler. He suprises me daily with the new things he picks up, the good and the bad. His birthday party was a lot of fun.
My parents graciously opened their home to us for the night. Karina was there with her camera so of course she was the designated photographer. She tooks some great pictures. I often wonder if sometimes she would rather put down the camera and just be able to hang out like the rest of us. I don't know though, she seems pretty dang happy behind her camera.
I made my first real cakes! i can't even tell you the last time i really baked. I was so proud of myself. i made three cakes into sports balls. I thought they turned out pretty good. They even tasted somewhat decent. For the baseball cake i used red velvet with a cherry pie filling in the middle, the football was chocolate with a chocolate cream cheese filling (nick made the filling, it was to die for), the tennis ball was lemon cake with lemon pie filling. I had a lot of fun trying to make them look the way i wanted. I even go the tennis ball to look a little fuzzy. Okay, that's enough bragging, i don't usually have a lot to brag about when it comes to my cooking skills so i had to take this opportunity while i could!
He had a lot of fun opening his presents. It was hard to get him to go on to the next because he'd want to play whatever he'd just opened. The funniest moment which luckily Karina got on camera was when he opened his hot wheels. It was like he'd never seen one before, he was so excited, you'll just have to see the pic down below. Another good moment was when he opened the train set we got him and he decided it was better suited as skate board, also down below. I also thought it was pretty funny that his cousins and friends enjoyed helping him open his presents, especially Denton. I acutaully don't know that i've ever been to a kids birthday party where the birthday boy or girl was the only one opening their own presents... It's like a team sport to see how fast they can get it opened and passed around to be played with. kids crack me up!

I'd rather be behind the camera! I'll put it down if I'm feeling like joining the world.
The party was fun and you can keep on bragging because those cakes were awesome!
He is so cute! I'm really glad that I got to meet him! He makes me excited for when Jacob gets old enough to play and talk and run around. Your cakes look awesome! I would have never known that you don't bake often. =)
