Ryan's Party

We had Ryan's party yesterday....it came together SO well because of Azeb's help (our house helper). She is so great. She did Ryan's hair like this (=

I made a train cake for him...it was VERY simple. The most difficult thing was to move it from the counter to the table without it splitting in the middle where the two cutting boards were joined 

 

I'm not quite sure what Layla was excited about here but she was  super excited for everything....including all  his presents. You can see the white balls in the foreground which are supposed to be the smoke coming from the smokestack.

I know it looks like I spent a lot of time on it but really I did it all that one morning. It is amazing what folding tables and matching tablecloths will do (=

The super unattractive coke bottle filled with green liquid is the MOST amazing lemon and mint drink that Azeb knows how to make. Mom, I'm so sorry I didn't discover this while you were here! Every week or so she tells me something else she can make (=

 It was a great time of adults chit-chatting and kids playing. Happy Birthday Ryan!! You are a really FUN two year old!
