First things first...

A long overdue post about the status of Les Twinks and life in general is in the works, but I didn't think I could leave you all hanging any longer with this birthday business. You've all endured me go on and on and on (puleeze someone, anyone make her stttttaaaahhp) for weeks now about Piglet's birthday parties and how I am

Still.

So.

Tired.

So I'll first regale you with photos from our last party! And captions! And too much cuteness for Thursday morning! Go on, leave the sugar out of that coffee, you'll get plenty here.

Piglet, upon returning home from balloon pick-up with his dad, discovers the sweets table.

Cupakes, buttercream and fondant, oh my!

What's a cupcake without a party hat clad Piglet? Boh-ring.

Yes I made all the little tags for the candy jars...

and the toppers for the the Voodoo doughnut tower. Why sleep just because you're tired? I mean, really. I can sleep when I'm dead, right?

To prove we did actually have food other than sugary goodness at the party, we also had fruit salad, homemade egg, spinach and mushroom biscuit sandwiches and potatoes O'Brien.

Because Piglet is all about being sustainable, he insisted on reusable treat bags for his friends. The contents? A train conductor's hat embroidered with each friend's name, a T.homas the Tank Engine (or polka dot for the girlies) fabric crayon roll-up, crayons and stickers.

A lollipop for breakfast? Sure, why not.

Our favorite neighbors, the Ulbrichs.

Moms and daughters and yellow sweaters were all the rage.

Getting ready to blow out the candles! Piglet would *only* wear the party hat when there was a cupcake with lit candles in front of him and people singing the Happy Birthday song to him. Any other time and he would run away shrieking "No ank (thank) you! Nooooo ank you!"

Ridiculously overly-enthusiastic parents.

Seriously.

Look at us.

Ridiculous!

Blowing out the candles *again* because, it was Piglet's favorite part. :)

Party favor distribution! Jacob thought the hat looked better on mom.

"The cupcake is great, but WHAT is this sweet colorful stuff on the top?! That's my favorite part!"

Top of the 'mornin' to you!

More conductor hat pictures...of course everyone wore theirs except for the birthday boy. Figures.

I can't eat anymore candy! I'm all sugared out!

(My friend suggested we make a gummy bear outline of him...bahahahaha!)

Well okay, maybe just *one* more piece.

Piglet's T.homas ride-on train was a hit!

Goodbye hugs for friends.

And some friends, Piglet did not want to part with. :)
