Holden turns one!


So, this afternoon, we all made a trek to the "hundred acre wood" to celebrate one year for Holden Mercer! What an adorable party Carrie put together. When we arrived, the children all made "Winnie the Pooh" character hats including tigger, eyore, Kanga, and Piglet. Holden the birthday boy got a special "pooh" hat.

We played "toss the bag into pooh's belly" and "pin the tail on eyore." It was so fun! Carrie got pizza for everyone, coupled with drinks and salad with the help of Jenn and Tiff. We opened gifts, and the little muncher got some fun fun toys!

To top the celebration off, Carrie brought out an AMAZING and HUGE cake that she and friends spent 13 hours baking and decorating! The thing must've weighed 10 lbs! It was HUGE!

Holden was excited to see his beautiful cake...here he is blowing out the candles!

So, make sure you look at the amazing detail on the cake! It made mom CRY! I guess after 13 hours of baking, it's a reaction you may expect, but I didn't...so I had to look again at the detail, and suddently, we were ALL crying!
Way to go Carrie!
