We had a lovely, albeit busy, day! Bentley shares his birthday with Great-Grandma, who turned 80 today - 20 times older than Mr. B! So, of course, what to do? A big family party, of course! I worked on cakes yesterday since we had church before the party today. A chocolate layer cake with a caramel ganache for Great-Grandma, a rainbow cake for Bentley (thanks Sam!), and a "spare" cake to share - a berry trifle. Bentley helped me with his cake on Saturday:
We had originally planned to do Great-Grandma's bash, and then after the big family party do Bentley's cake a little later. Bentley didn't like that plan, as he really wanted to share his cake with everyone. How could I object to his sweet intentions? I couldn't! He talks big but then he hid under his share once everyone started singing happy birthday. Bashful? Maybe! But he sat back up to blow out candles!
And the cake!
Bentley had a heap of presents, he must have been a good little boy? That, or he has many people who love him! Thank you to all!
A fun day, and a perfectly perfect little boy. We can't wait for the next year of fun! We'll end with some pictures of the birthday boy with some of his adoring fans.
Coming up next week? Some more cake! Grandma Karen is in Hawaii right now so we're going to take cake up to celebrate with Grandpa Tim, Grandma Karen, and Tyler when she gets back later this week. More parties can only be good, we think!
Again - happy birthday to our favorite FOUR year old. We love you!

Gorgeous cake, Kara! How on earth did you get the colors to swirl like that?!?
LOVE the rainbow cake! Looks like a fun birthday. They totally grow up too fast. *sigh*
