this year was all about rockets. rocket invitations, rocket cake, rocket favors, even rockets on the front steps of our house to countdown the blast off to larkin's 3rd birthday. fun was had by all. the grilled cheese was flowing and the birthday cake was quite tasty (well, at least the second one was, after a late night run to the grocery store for all-purpose rather than whole wheat flour. i'm sure the whole wheat birthday cake would be marketable, but folks, i simply don't have the time.) and, as if grilled cheese wasn't enough, a request for a quesadilla had us topping off the night in style, i mean, in a sombrero, i mean, in a stylish sombrero. enjoy...

for those of you who need to see something i made...

before the birthday present reveal...

enjoying the cake...

once he warmed up to the whole idea of a sombrero (happy birthday in spanish threw him off a bit)...
