partay time

i threw a little shindig for aaron's birthday. it included all the man food staples (and birthday boy wishes); pizza, soda, and chips. luckily some lady friends saved the day and brought a salad.

i believe to the delight of many parents, it was at a park. none of the little ones are pictured, but imagine their squeals in the foreground.
aaron found that baby on the side of the road and decided to bring it to the party.

dew dew + ag = luv.

ag + ag = ag2 & tru luv

cake + ice cream + chocolate = stomach ache? i'm done with the math.

aaron wanted an ice cream cake, but after seeing the price of an ice cream cake for 25 i said, no way, mama. i'm making one. i made three. very rich recipe, i think i'll cut back on the chocolate ganache next time. but tasty! each had pound cake, oreos, and ganache, but i did a strawberry & vanilla, mint chip and chocolate, and coffee with chocolate chip cookie dough. yum.

pardon their appearance. i almost pulled all my hair out trying to make 3 ice cream cakes at once. i'm not sure who i thought i was, but i'm not an ice cream cake chef! after many meltdowns (get it? meltdown?) the cakes were done and lessons were learned. they'll be purdier next time.

fun girls.

some random kids on a bench. oh wait, i think those are the baby's parents. plus another in a sling.

thanks everyone for coming and celebrating with us!
