He decided he wanted a crocodile cake around the time of Ethan's birthday in January, and he never changed his mind. He actually picked one out that was made of cupcakes and covered in swampy-green colored frosting.
He didn't get the cupcake one for two reasons. First, we eat green frosting nearly every birthday between animal cakes and vehicle cakes and little boys who all love the color green. White frosting, with whipped chocolate ganache filling, sounded so much more appealing! Second, I've been wanting to try a new decorating technique. So I was a bad mama and did what I wanted ... but Alex was thrilled with the crocodile, and he enjoyed eating him!
Then of course there were presents!
Grandmas and grandpas give the best presents!
On his actual birthday, he went with Dad to the store for a balloon and donuts for breakfast ... a cherished tradition that they all look forward to!
Happy Birthday, Alex! We are so glad you're part of our family. You are truly a gift in our lives!
