Tucker has been saying for months that he wanted an upside down, backwards puppy party for his birthday. Since he didn't really have a full out party, he ended up being happy with a puppy cake! It had been so crazy with all the company for the previous three weeks and Laura and Jessica came on the day of his birthday so it was nice to have another mellow relaxed birthday day like Jordan's the day before. I really through this cake together last minute, Jordan had told me he wanted the cake that we do for first birthdays but we didn't have a chance with everything going on so I got it for Tucker and turned it into a puppy! For first birthdays we do angel food cake with chocolate whipped cream for the frosting. Right before we went to dinner that night, I ran into the store and grabbed the stuff without even being sure what I was going to do. I also grabbed some black jelly beans and black decorating gel so this is what I came up with:
Nothing fancy, but it worked for Tucker! He was very excited to open all of his presents and wanted to play with all of them until he got to the last one which was from my parents...a tool bench. Once he saw that, he wanted nothing else, he didn't even want to stop to eat the cake!
We did finally talk him into the cake and he loved having everyone sing to him!
Before our little celebration we went to the KFC buffet, yes, it is an actual buffet of the KFC foods plus some other stuff. We had driven by it so many times and always wondered about it but then when Tucker said he wanted drumsticks for his birthday dinner, we knew it was time to check it out!
And finally, he was worn out! He was excited to get this new bedspread/blanket like the big boys and happily went to sleep all propped up on his 3 different pillows! Isn't he a cute little 4 year old?!!!
