Brithday Party post

I'm finally getting around to doing Moosey's actual birthday party post. 

We decided to have his birthday at the splash pad this year.  It's kind of nice to have one kid with a summer birthday party.  I was looking forward to it because of the outdoor party options.  It was perfect for all the cousins too that got to have fun in the water.

For some reason it was my idea to make Brennan snake cupcakes.  I have always wanted to try out rainbow cake, so we went to the local cake store and bought all the special dye colors to make the vibrant rainbow cake colors with.  The cake store in Spanish was amazing.  Sadly we will probably only go in it once or twice a year.  Sara has already requested that we go back to the cake store for her birthday party next year too.

Dan's job was to make the frosting for the cupcakes.  He made a lemon/lime frosting for the rainbow cupcakes and chocolate for the chocolate ones.

Sara got to work sorting the candies for the designs on the cupcakes, she liked this job a lot.

The pretty rainbow cakes baked up perfectly.  I can't say it was worth all the effort but it was fun to do it this one time and they were pretty.

At the splash pad, we claimed a pavilion and set up. 
Brennan waits for everyone to show up, wearing his party hat.

The cake mess, I think he enjoyed his birthday cupcake!

Then after everyone got good and covered in sticky cake and frosting, we hit the water jets.  Smart idea I thought.  We didn't have a messy baby for long.

I think Brennan had a great birthday, I'm sure he won't remember it but hopefully someday he'll look back at this blog and smile :)  Happy 1st Birthday sweet little boy, we love you lots!
