Third Birthday

This past weekend we celebrated Matthew's third birthday! It's hard to believe nearly three years have gone by since he joined our family!

We invited some of our Chinese friends and some kids over to a party on Saturday. Matthew's always had a favorite show (Elmo, Pooh, Cedarmont Kids, Karyn Henley, Chuck the Dump Truck...) and now he's really into Jake & the Neverland Pirates (a spin-off on the classic Peter Pan). As such, Cheryl & Jenna made him a treasure chest birthday cake. :D

 

For those who would not join in during the eating of the treasure chest, we also provided a mousse-ish chocolate cake we bought at a bakery (It's called Ali's Bakery.) I [Abby] think I was the only one who didn't have any treasure chest cake, simply because the mousse cake was just too good to be replaced by the likes of a cake with frosting. (I am of the odd few that do not like consuming tons of frosting. I like whipped cream and cherries and such, but frosting is just too thick for me.) 

This was a delicious chocolate mousse cake made at our favorite bakery.
