Party Pictures

So, for Connor's birthday weekend we had close friends and family over to celebrate. Since I was feeling like a pretty bad mom for not getting into super planning mode for the party (I sent out the email invite - not even an evite about 12 days before) I was determined to make the cake - from scratch. So, I did. I think it turned out pretty cute. The Very Hungry Caterpillar (one of Connor's favorite books) was my inspiration (along with Williams Sonoma - I am addicted to that store).
I was REALLY hoping that Connor would like the cake better this time around. Plus, there was less icing and it was vanilla buttercream with colored sprinkles so . . . he would love it, right?
We started to sing Happy Birthday . . . Connor seemed interested . . .
Then, he looked seriously skeptical
Then he got upset (mainly from the paparazzi photo shoot and laughing) Not sure if Connor is practicing his karate on the cake - or something else??
Finally, Connor decided to try the cake - He ate 3 bites this time - better luck next year!
