Jackson's 4th Birthday Party!

Jackson wanted a "Diego" party this year. This posed but one problem. I don't know how to make a "Diego" cake. Good thing Aunt Lana was around (and Lenzy)! We whipped it out like we were professional cake decorators...

James had to supervise. At one point I thought Jackson might take one look at his cake and proclaim, "but I didn't want a Little Bill cake! I wanted a Diego cake!" (For those of you who don't know Little Bill, he's the main character on Bill Cosby's cartoon show "Little Bill." And at one point, I thought it was a Little Bill cake...

Oh yes, Lana freehanded Diego. I told her she'll be a seasoned cake decorator by the time she has kids of her own. Her response: "Ha. I'll be paying someone else to decorate my kid's cake." Sweet Lana.

We didn't even realize our shirts matched until James took a pic of us. We were having serious discussions over Diego.

We (Lana & Lenzy) finished up the cake around 10:30pm and we were off to bed. The party started at 10am the next morning. Rain was in the forecast. I didn't have a plan B. So I prayed.

And it worked. (Thanks God). As soon as we loaded up the car to leave, it began to sprinkle. And that was ok with me.
