April 4th marked Boston’s 3rd birthday. We celebrated with a Harry Potter themed party complete with a (fantastic) replica of Harry’s birthday cake from the first movie and owl balloons. We also enjoyed a glowing Easter egg hunt in the backyard. Scott and I made Stephen and Boston cool Harry Potter shirts that say “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good,” on the front and “Mischief Managed,” on the back. There are disappearing foot prints going down the side. We used the freezer paper stencil method and it was waaaay too time consuming but they turned out really cool. Boston still talks about his birthday.
The cake was purposely messy (remember Hagrid makes it for Harry in the story) but it was a fancy lemon cake with lemon curd filling and raspberry cream frosting. It was incredibly time consuming to make.
Here is half of my messy kitchen after I made the cake. This is at around 11:00 pm. Ridiculous!
Boston, ready for the party with his new shirt, a scar drawn on his forehead and his Harry Potter scarf. The scarf is choking him in this picture.
Forcing a smile?
My very favorite part of kids birthdays is watching them during the birthday song and as they blow out the candles. I love it!
