This was actually going to be the last post in my Florida vacay series. It was the last evening of the trip, as well as the last set of pictures I took on the trip, and also I think that everything is better when it ends with cake.
But it’s Friday (and Fridays go well with cake), and more importantly, it’s K’s birthday. And since we can’t be in NY tonight to eat cake with her, I thought I would send pictures of babies eating cake and maybe that would be just as good.
The cake we were eating was actually in honor of Mikhail’s ONE YEAR BIRTHDAY. (I think that means our babies are getting old…sigh…) His birthday is just one week away, and Gramma and Pappa celebrated on our last night in Florida with a surprise smash cake–his first!
And since Mikhail is a generous boy (and the cake was larger than anticipated), it was a dueling smash cake festivus with each baby facing off in a who-can-smash-better cake contest.
It’s a good time to note that Nellie lost. Badly. She gave a small taste to the frosting, but wasn’t too impressed. She didn’t even get any frosting on her pretty new outfit. On the other side of the deliciousness spectrum, Mikhail eventually was so covered in frosting that he resembled the Hulk.
It’s fortunate that Nellie has two months left to practice before her real smash cake experience–this was a poor showing by the monkey.
But the entire event, which G caught on video, was hilarious. Cake not only makes everything better–but it makes kids even cuter.
As you can see, Nellie thoroughly enjoyed the experience. She just didn’t find it nearly as delicious as her cousin did.
~ Day 5 of posts from our trip to Florida. They might go in order, they might not. They might be themed, they might not. They will all be adorable. ~
