Once More with Feeling

We finally got to host Eben's family at our house. Through seven years of marriage, we have never lived close enough to host a family get together for them. Edison's belated first birthday party was a perfect occasion to bring everyone together (except Eben's father who is out of town on business).

I improved on the bear cake - this one was lemon with a coconut cream cheese frosting. Yummy served with berries and sorbet and the toasted coconut made nice fur.
This time Edison did a little better job eating his birthday cake, but the berries were his favorite part - he knew exactly what to do with those.
Dean & Carolyn's family gave Edison a school bus for his birthday. His cousin Will (2 1/2) showed Edison what it could do. It was very sweet to see them playing together.
Everyone enjoyed lounging on the deck, especially once we got some shade. It was great to see the Phillips siblings so happy.
