Our little Hold's woke up to streamers and presents. Pretty sure Weston was convinced it was his birthday and his presents.... but I guess two excited kids is better than just one!
That night we had a small party for our birthday boy.... the kids all had a blast, Holden loved his cake, and it turned out to be a perfect night.
Don't get me started on my cake issues.... I used this chocolate cake recipe and this salted carmel frosting recipe. The cake is turning out to be one of my favorite recipes and the frosting was really great too.... but it didn't turn out thick enough nor sticky enough. It basically just slid down the cake. Hmmmm?
Favors were our favorite giant chocolate chip cookies sprinkled with sea salt. Sea salt on cookies is really the only way to go.
The smash cake failed miserably.... but Holden didn't care. Three cakes later I ended up with this and was just happy to have a cake for him before the party started. Holden loved the candle and loved having this giant cake all to himself.
To say he enjoyed his cake was an understatement. I love, love, love this age.
We had 5 minutes of silence while the kiddos were eating and then we went back to chaos. The kids had a blast.
