Connor’s Party: Smash!

I made Connor’s smash cake: two little layers covered in vanilla buttercream and sprinkles.

We brought the cake out and started singing “Happy Birthday,” which seemed to take Connor by surprise.

I wasn’t worried that Connor would be one of those kids who wouldn’t eat his cake.  The kid eats limes, I knew he’d like cake. Smile

The little cake wasn’t the only thing that got smashed.  We had a pinata in the garage, too.  Kevin lined the kids up according to age (youngest to oldest) and everyone got a couple swings or so.  But first, Connor had the inaugural hit.

Rebecca got a little help from Greg.

Then Maxie took a turn, doing things her own way, of course.

Zachary made contact then Layton followed up with a couple good whacks.

Just the two oldest boys left.  Chase had a couple really good hits and put a crack in the pinata.

Then Owen finished things off.

If things are working like I want, below is a video snippet from the rush to get the treats from the pinata.

I’ll have some general people pics soon.  Wait til you see Henley in the sombrero.
