Soren's Birthday Party

Yesterday was Soren's birthday party. This is the first year we've done a kid's party and he was really, really (really) excited about it. He shares a birthday with Sheila, a girl in his class, so we did a joint party and invited the whole class.

I made a cake that I've been dying to try for awhile. I was a little (ok, a lot!) nervous about transporting it to the party...what if all the layers slid off?!

But I needn't have worried, it arrived safely and still in a stack.

We had the party at the Humane Society. They did a great job and gave the kids a tour of the place. They listened closely to the instructions...

...and then got to go out and visit with the animals.

Including letting them pretend to be dogs...17 children make the NOISIEST group of dogs you'll ever find anywhere!

But mostly it was just fun to celebrate with special friends.

And of course blow out candles for your birthday!

The cake stayed in one piece until we were down to the very last slice...then it toppled over.
