Its Party Time!!! (take 2)
Today was Ben's Family Hockey Birthday party. I'm so glad this one is over!! (not the party part, but the decorating and baking and creating part!) I was exhausted tonight after everyone left! I took one look at my kitchen, and headed upstairs to bed.
Ben had a blast!! We love having everyone over to visit and celebrate with. I love how all of our families are in Sherwood Park and so close. Its nice for Ben to grow up with family around!! He got spoiled tonight!! Again, all of my photos were taken before the party, when everything was nice and perfect ;). I will have to get the "action" photos up soon. Thanks so much to all the family that came - we love you guys lots!!
the cake - I was so proud of this cake, because it was the first time I tried to decorate with fondant. I have covered whole cakes in it, just not decorated with it. The jersey and stick are fondant and really, it was not too bad once I got the hang of it!
