Party for our Prince

January 5, 2013

Today was our Golden Birthday Boy's

 Golden Birthday Party!



THE CAKE
I wasn't thrilled with the "Gold"
(that looks like yellow to me) writing icing.
If I would have known that it wasn't gold
I would have used dark blue.
Oh well! Reuben didn't care so I shouldn't either. 

THE DECORATIONS

THE ROYAL FEAST

in honor of our Prince

Ham, Macaroni and Cheese, 

Broccoli and Cheese Casserole, 

Rolls, Homemade Applesauce and fruit.

"Thanks for providing most of the feast Grandma Martin!"

I made pizza crowns for the kiddos since the

 train pizzas were such a hit at Sawyer's party.

DECORATING CROWNS 

for the princes and princesses in attendance.

(I love how Sawyer wouldn't stop 

for 5 seconds to look at the camera)

What adorable royalty!

CAKE TIME!

A little nervous about the flame!

PRESENTS

He got a lot of great Golden Books 

for his Golden Birthday!

And Daddy and Momma got him 

The Little Prince books and a little prince doll.

It was a lot of fun!

I look so exhausted in this picture. 

I was up a little too late trying to make his 

Golden Birthday Party Perfect.

Thanks for coming everyone!

Happy Birthday Prince Reuben!

Our Baby the Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday Reuben!!!

Our sweet little prince turned one today, 

which makes this his Golden Birthday!

Quite ironic that both he and Sawyer celebrated

 their Golden Birthdays the same year, don't you think?! 

(Reu turning 1 on the 1st and Sawy turning 3 on the 3rd)

Anyway, back to our little man!

Good Morning Birthday Boy!

Nice bed-head!



We let him wear his crown for the day.



He even posed for some birthday pictures.

But enough was enough.

So we let him roam free in his birthday suit.

(plus a diaper)

And fed him the practice cake.

His first bite of icing. 

"You guys have been holding out on me!"

"I love you cake. I'm going to eat you!"

And the first bite of cake.

He caught on quickly!

"Yum!"

What a cute cake-covered kid!

Oh no! Not the crown! 

Love this face!

Do you want some more cake 

at your party this weekend Reuben?

Happy Birthday Angel. 

We just adore you!

Oh, and Happy New Year!
