Happy 1/2 Birthday!!!

I cannot believe Elizabeth and Tom hit another milestone - they are growing way too fast!!! Earlier this month we celebrated their half birthday with a 'half' cakes and a few little gifts. Just in case Elizabeth and Tom will one day read this blog as a teenager....it was a very small celebration and you each received a pair of shoes and another little something.
Here are a few pictures from the day.....
Homemade cakes by mom - there is nothing like it!
My attempt of creating pink icing looked more like a salmon color Elizabeth was very anxious to try her cake, but neater than at her first birthday party Tom in action going for his cake
He was much more excited about this cake than his first birthday cupcake
Papa came in town for a visit
...and provided a bit of assistance with blowing out the 1 and 1/2 candles
Similar to his uncles, Tom was all about the fire, such a boy.....
Don't worry his champagne glass was filled with juice, but it looks
like he is learning how to 'turn it up' at an early
Just too funny not to include - a messy meal time.
Can you guess what we are eating?
