In a virtual internet tidal wave, Payton is fast becoming a
blog star! Ok, so she is only mentioned on two blogs (one is her Aunt's) but it is still more than can be said for a lot of people out there. Anyway, we celebrated her birthday on Saturday since the Mrs' parents were leaving on Sunday and not here today. Thanks to their arrival (and their willingness to pack several extra suitcases with presents sent from people back in the states) Payton had lots of presents to open. The biggest present was her new big girl princess bed. She has already slept in it several times and does not appear to be having any issues. She still has her self-imposed "invisible rail" up and has not started the wandering routine yet. We will see how long that
lasts. She also got a big girl scooter and immediately started scooting
around like she has done it before...it must be all that watching of the older kiddos kickin' in. To top it all off, in usual form I made her cake this year. Unfortunately for me, she is in a Dora the Explorer (a.k.a., "DODO" per Payton) phase which means I had to make her a Dodo cake. It turned out ok...but in general the
Batman cake, the
sledding hill cake and the
M&M powered train cake were all far more fun for me ;-) I guess I will have to do something a little better next year for Payton...maybe try some fondant icing or something...

Sorry I missed the fun, but glad Regina and Russ where there. I think the cake looks great, even though it did not appear to challenge you this year. Is she getting into the princess thing or is that the bed you selected?
Love to all
