Happy First Birthday Max

He started his special day with a whole, un-cut banana. His favorite!!

Since Max has a love for banana's , and Curious George, this cake seemed perfect. Rich and I stayed up late Saturday night to get it ready. We used fondant icing. It's like play dough. So we were rolling out baby banana after baby banana. Which wasn't that bad compared to the painting the black on each of them! But it was so worth it to have this cute cake for Max.

I was so excited for him to finally get this bike/walker for his birthday. We bought it before Christmas! And he keeps walking by pushing the chairs all over the kitchen. He loves it. The kids were so frustrated that he had NO interest in any of the other gifts.
He just wanted to push his walker around!He did like the other gifts, once he knew what they were, like this little car toy from Grandma Canada. It has lots of lights and sounds! And he loved his little cars too, he loves to hold them and push them back and forth on the hard wood floor. Can you tell Peter was sick today? His face is so red, and he slept most of the day. We were all so sad. He threw up a little, and mostly just had a fever.
The kids would open a present, and Max would go after the ripped paper they threw!Max loved the cake, were we surprised? We think fondant icing tastes gross, but looks cool. But Max ate a couple of the bananas. I guess he doesn't know they are supposed to taste bad!Let the fun begin!! Using his own fork. It didn't help!

What a fun mess! Happy First Birthday Max!! We love you!
