Ollie is 2!

Ollie turned 2 on January 25. We had a little party with his ward play group on his actual birthday and had a family party after Henny's blessing on February 6. We borrowed a Cars 2 cake pan from our friends and made some car cakes. Ollie LOVED them. I made them a day early so for that whole day he kept pulling the stool over to the counter, climbing up and saying "see cakes". He, of course, can name all of them and was very excited about eating them. He still talks about eating "finn" and can tell you what cake all of his friends ate.

The cakes were quite a project so here they are in process. After making the cakes you glaze them with Royal Icing. 

 

Then decorate them with normal frosting.

Here is Ollie telling me who they all are. 

and here he is blowing out the candles on Finn.

Here is the best family picture we have been able to muster so far

This pic is awful but Henny looks so cute!
