Farewell/Birthday Party

First of all, tell me this doesn't look A-MA-ZING!!!!


Yep, you can't. Don't you wish you could have had a slice or two? This beauty is a homemade chocolate cake with a layer of homemade ganache between the 2 layers and on top of the cake. Then it is covered in delicious homemade chocolate frosting. Mmmmm..... It was heavenly!!!  And I made it all by myself!

Enough about the cake. I made this beauty for two very special people.

William and Adam.
My little brother decided to get a job in Korea teaching English for at least the next year. He left the day before William's birthday and a few weeks before his own birthday. So at this party we celebrated William's 3rd birthday and Adam's birthday with my family and some of Adam's friends. We also gathered to wish Adam luck in his endeavors in Korea.  

This is just some of the family that were there.  Jacob and his family were also there. 

William opened his presents from my parents - a Clifford book and doll and a Jeff Corvette shake'n'go car. He loves them and still sleeps with Clifford (along with 3 other stuffed animals) every single night. 

We gave Adam a kindle (he's an avid reader just like the rest of my family) and a little scrapbook with pictures of our family.  Adam left on the 16th for San Francisco and then flew out to Korea from there on the 17th. He's having a great time there but we sure do miss him!!! We love you Adam!
