Our theme this year?
Pirates
Why? Cause it's the cool thing to do.
The real reason? I fell in love with Bakerella's Pirate Cake Pops. Enter pirate party.
We had Gage's birthday party at the swimming pool. We had found out a few weeks earlier that he loved swimming. Perfect. We rented the pool and had a great time.
Gage loved his new floaty thing. He loved playing with the pirate ducks. (Every pool party needs a rubber duck!)
But not the splashing. :)
We invited our immediate family and we were happy to have so many people there.
(we didn't take many photos at the pool because it was too humid in there and the lens kept fogging up)
We had lots of food. (pirates eat sandwiches)
Cake pops. Yum.
And LOTS of presents. Seriously. How can such a small kid have so many toys. He needs a bigger bedroom. And soon.
We ran out of time (we were having too much fun swimming) so we moved the party on over to my Grandma's house. So thankful for her. (Thank you Grandma!!) She saved the day.
He was not what you would call, interested, in opening the presents.
Soon enough it was time for the cake. I made pudding for the icing, just to hopefully prevent the kid from getting too sick. He seemed to like it. I was a little bummed that it turned more and more yellow.
I think he enjoyed the cake. :)
Thank you for helping us celebrate one year of Gage. Best year ever.
Here is the video of Gage eating his cake. I realize that it's probably not that exciting for you, but just in case you are interested. :)
