Springtime Birthday Hullabaloo

Here are the pics from Covey's birthday party. Thank you so much to everyone who came. It really meant a lot to us.

Here I am finishing up the cake. This was the first time I've ever done a cake and I thought it would be crazy stressful, but it was actually really fun!

Getting Pointers from Grandpa
His dad thought he should try a spoon.
And that's as far as he got. Pretty impressive, I thought.

Tongues are for catching snowflakes, Covey, not bubbles!For those of you who couldn't be there, here's the condensed party experience.

WOW! He is already a year, I cannot believe how quick that went, I bet you can't either! Great job on that cake Julia! Brave girl, I would not dare attempt to try a layered one! Is that your new house? :) Looks like a great party!

Katie looks like she is saying "HEY, HEY, HEY" in a Fat Albert voice.
