Lumberjack Birthday Breakfast.

I still can't believe that Caiden is two! He's 3 feet tall, weights 32 lbs and wears size 8 shoes. He's a true big boy with an ever expanding vocabulary and imagination. On Saturday we hosted a little lumberjack birthday breakfast in honor of our little man's birthday. I had way too much fun with this theme. I was out searching for logs and branches and stumps for weeks. I was painting little lumberjacks, taking Caiden's lumberjack photos at our favorite little Christmas tree farm, researching recipes, sewing napkins, sawing, cutting, baking, designing like crazy... and it all came together in perfect harmony with the visions I had in my head. We gathered some of his little friends to feast on buttermilk pancakes, bacon, eggs, a chocolate ganache rolled log cake [so much harder than in looked], cookies, and smores pops. It was so cute to see Caiden sitting around a little table filled with eight 2-6 year olds that he loves. As soon as they were done eating they were running circles around the house, pretending to be dogs and pirates and Buzz, secretly opening presents, going up and down the stairs, and playing with toys. It was so much fun and we are so grateful to be surrounded by such loving and supportive friends and family. Thanks to everyone that came and those that were thinking of our little man from far away.
