David's Birthday Party

We had David's party today at a local train store. He had so much fun!

Of course I got a little crafty for the party. Here are the cookies we gave to his friends. I made sugar cookies and frosted them with royal icing. Each child got two train cars, a D and a number 4.

This is the fruit I did. I wanted it to be similar to the arrangements from Edible Arrangements. It looks better to me in the photo than I thought it looked in person! *Please note -- I've said I wanted it to be similar to Edible Arrangements -- not that I thought it looked like I got it there. I got a nasty comment from someone saying that "Edible Arrangements are hand-sculpted culinary desgins, not a pile of fruit on skewers". I never claimed to be a fruit artist.

And, of course, the cake. It was a white almond sour cream cake with strawberry jam filling and buttercream icing. We had very little left, so it must have been good!

All of our family friends were there, our family - Gigi, (Grampy couldn't come -- he had to be at the store) Gramps, Nan, Uncle Clayton, Auntie Vanessa, "she's Jarrod", Uncle Jack, Aunt Evelyn, as well as three of his friends from school. David was so excited to see them all! Here are a couple more photos. And a big thank you to all of our friends for coming to share his day -- he had a wonderful time!
