The Wild and Crazy Birthday Party

It was a wild and crazy birthday party! We had a bunch of family over to celebrate Lauren's birthday on Friday night.


All day Friday I was in the kitchen making
these Martha Stewart
"Bug Cupcakes." Let me just say this, I have no desire to make these cupcakes again, at least not for a very long time.
It was a lot of work!


Lauren was unsure about the candles, especially because we were telling her not to touch them and that fire is HOT!

She nearly choked on the gum drop head when she put the whole thing in her mouth.





Here Lauren was getting ticked because the paper wasn't coming off as easily as she would have liked. She takes after her dad...and mom.

Here is a video that sums up how she felt about the candles. Pure uncertainty. Thanks to everyone that came and for all the gifts from our family!

Cute little girl you have Cab. Hey I was wondering if you could make those cupcakes for Faiths birthday in December. They looked great.

That's SO CUTE! Happy birthday to my little niece (and future daughter-in-law) I love the video of her blowing out the candles...I wonder if CJ will blow his out? Probably not, Lauren, such a SHOWOFF!! :) Ha ha, just kidding, she's awesome like her Mom!! Jason's not too bad either. ;)

Oh, my comment about niece and daughter-in-law sounded weird...So everyone reading knows - we're really not related and no, Lauren isn't going to marry her cousin. :)
