Birthday Party (x2)

Last night we had Hunter's birthday party, as well as mine.  It was a John Deere party (which I've always wanted).  When Hunter was born the day before my birthday, I knew that never again would I have a party for my birthday.  The funny thing is, this really seems to run in the Schaetzle family.  My brother-in-law's birthday is the day after his daughter's, my sister-in-law and her husband have the same birthday, my niece's birthday is just a couple of days before my other sister-in-law's birthday.  Hence, alot of our birthday parties are combinations, and truthfully, I don't mind sharing with my awesome boy.  Usually after we have his cake, ice cream, and presents and he has run off to play with cousins and new toys, then I open my gifts with the adults sitting around visiting.  That is how last night went, and it was a good time with family (although I missed my dad who is on a missions trip in South America).  I made Hunter a John Deere cake and for my sister's benefit included all the views.



I know it's a little crooked; apparently my cake carving skills need some work.




Now we can bowl at home

His own fishing pole and bobbers; no more using Dad's old ones.

Shelby just liked the wrapping paper; that's all we are going to get her for her birthday!



 
Scott got me a kindle, yay!

My mom and mother-in-law got me the same deviled egg dish.  Can you tell I like to make deviled eggs for family functions?  I assured them they both have great taste.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the pictures. Love the cake, even if it is a little crooked. Wish we could have been there (as always).

Happy Birthday to you both!

Happy birthday, Jen! I didn't realize that you and Hunter had birthdays so close. Looks like you had a grand time!

P.S. Think you could bring some of those yummy deviled eggs with you to our family gathering on the 4th?? :)
