Is it possible?? Egan's 4!!!

The Birthday Boy showing off his MONSTER face

That's right. The little man turned 4 on April 27th!!! I can't believe it!!!!!

We went to Tim and Cody's house last night to celebrate Egan's birthday with Nana & Gump (Marlos and Phil) and Nana & Poppa (Judy & Bob -  Tim's parents). Cody made us a nice dinner, which was followed by presents and cake.

Tim and Cody had asked me if I would make Egan's cake this year for him, and said that he wanted "a monster cake". I wasn't really sure how to go about making that as it wasn't necessarily a specific monster... Just a monster. A green one (because that is his favorite color). And I didn't want to make it look too scary... I mean, what fun is that to be scared of your cake on your birthday.

So, Thursday night after Keith got out of work, he helped me decorate Eegie's cake. I had baked it earlier in the day so that the cakes would be cool enough to frost in the evening. Thankfully, Keith was willing to pipe on the monster fur for me, as I found it to be monotonous... and I wasn't really that great at it. Then, I put on the eyes and mouths... and the lettering on the cake board. All in all, I think that it turned out pretty cute.

I was really happy that he was so excited about it when we got to the house.
