Because Grandpa and Nana won't be here for her birthday, but are here now with presents in tow, we had a practice run at Zoe's birthday yesterday. I made a cake (from a package: lemon with creamcheese frosting) and iced and decorated it myself.. I can say, it turned out pretty well..
First we started with presents.. From Auntie Rebecca she received a cabage patch newborn babie.. so cute.. so loved, loved, loved it.. kissing it, sucking on its bald little head, etc.
Uncle Hang gave her this crazy hippo, which she also loves (I can't say I think it is pretty, but Zoe loves to "ride" it and cuddle it.. and its crazy colors will match her room).
From Grandpa and Nana she received the Fisher Price Farm set, with lots of cute little animals and people to add to it from Auntie Carrie. She's had a grand time openning the doors, pushing the animals around, etc. She also received a plastic piggy bank and is completely able to put the coins in herself, but then frets (a mild term for her screaming) over where the coins go.
Then it was cake time: we gave her the whole top to do with what she wanted, but we must have fed her too much dinner, she wasn't interested in eating it, but got both hands in and good and covered in icing.
For her real birthday, I will do things a little different, and make the cake after she goes to bed, so it too will be a surprise (she saw us making it because she woke up early from her nap).
