Happy Birthday Keedan




Wow, it's already March and Keedan is now a three year old. Time sure has been flying by. I had a party for Keedan this past Saturday. It was fun but I was bummed that it was chilly outside and of all places I had his party at a park. Thankfully, his friends still came and celebrated with us.

His party was dino themed. Yea, just like his first birthday party. I wanted to have a barnyard birthday party for him but he said he wanted "saur saurs' so thats what we did. He's a kid that knows what he wants.





I didn't take the best pictures, but here are a few of the party. The kids above are attempting to play the Dino-stomp game/relay.





How cute is he? This is Nick, he got a bit off course. It's easy to do when you can't see b/c of the big dino hat on your head.

Keedan looked so cute but saw me with the camera and started taking off his dino hat.




I had the best time making Keedan's cake. I didn't spend as much time on it as I had wanted but it turned out alright for the amount of time spent on it.




I baked two 9x13 cake sheets and then sculpted the dino out of them.




It was fairly easy just looked really messed up "literally" until the icing was on to cover up all of the blemishes.

I didn't add any details to the dino except for the eyeball b/c I had run out of frosting the night before and I didn't have time to make it fabulous. It worked out great though and I was definitely less stressed.


Lastly I did get the last half of us singing Happy B-day to Keedan. I remembered the candles but forgot to grab the matches. Whoopsie...as Keedan would say, but he still seemed to enjoy it.
