Dude's birthday continued

As we celebrated Dude's actual birthday up north the next day we did it at my parent's house.  It was nothing fancy, but just family getting together and eating cake!  To be honest, I was still exhausted from the day before... and when we got home from the cottage I still had to make his birthday cake!  I made a four tier cake that was white cake alternating with confetti cake and I even made home made frosting. And let me tell you... we had to go to 3 different stores to find the right ingredients for it!  The cake apparently tasted good, but the frosting didn't want to stay up on some of the sides... so it wasn't the prettiest cake ever.  I decorated the outside with M & M's (per Dude's request) and he was thrilled that there was a big 3 candle on top.

We just hung out at my parents with my sister's family and it was all good.  My Dad got him this golf set that is adorable.  It's a cart that has 3 clubs, a bunch of balls, a few holes and some tees.  We got him this custom puzzle that had a picture of his pals on it :)  He was pretty thrilled.

Blowing out his candle.  He actually did it twice... haha



All in all, it was quite the whirlwind weekend, but I'm glad we got to celebrate his birthday with close friends and family.  :)
