On Saturday we celebrated Caden's first birthday - and his first Valentine's Day. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us - in person or it spirit. Caden didn't take much interest in his cake, and needed a little help with his candles. Luckily, it was Jen's birthday too - so she helped Caden blow out the candles. Happy birthday, Jen!
It was a first for mommy, too - baking a cake! Now, I can't say it went as smoothly as I would have liked - but you would never have been able to tell by looking at the finished product that the night before, about a fourth of the cake ended up on the bottom of the oven! :) I have to give a special note of appreciation to Karen who not only helped me 'fix' the troubled cake, but also lent all of her baking tools, and decorating tips, and sprinkles and food coloring. I think I'll hang up my oven mittens (err, mitts?) until his second birthday!
