Deadbeat Mom ruins first birthday!

Since we already did the big party thing we planned only to do a cake for Wesley's birthday--the traditional 1-year-old makes a huge mess eating cake. Wesley's birthday fell on a Sunday (we don't shop on Sundays), after I came home from church I got my funfetti cake mix out and preheated the oven. I went to the fridge to grab the eggs...only to discover that I was out of eggs! What kind of mother doesn't have cake for her only son's first ever birthday cake?! In a panic, we called our cousins and asked them if they would save us and bake a cake. We told them to hold the frosting (we would bring our own non-dairy frosting per Wesley's allergy).
Here's our festive birthday cake!

Here's Wes getting sung to and blowing out his candle.

Now let's see if he likes the cake!

Ehh...not so much...

but it sure is fun to play with!

This is his "yucky food" face. ("Please, no more!")

you are really good with birthdays for the boys in our family. 2 for 2 this year. If only I had pie and an ostrich burger for mine.
