birthday party

Finn requested a watermelon cake for his party. He wanted it to taste like watermelon, not just look like one...which is probably a good thing cause I definitely didn't get the cake decorating skill in our family! ;) I followed this recipe & had to look at 6 different stores to find watermelon jello...apparently it's seasonal. Go figure!

I also made some chocolate cupcakes for the non-watermelon lovers!

Oh, so excited!

Technically, there are 5 candles (as Tyler pointed out) but I thought he should have more than just the #4 candle. :)

So many fun presents!

Finn had a crowd of family & friends there to celebrate his day!

Memaw & Papa even found a mini watermelon for Finn. He ate some for dinner, after the party. :)

Happy Birthday Finley!
