Gus turns 4 !

Holy Cow!

I don't think there's ever been a kid more excited for his birthday party!

A train party, of course. At the park. Right before Preschool.

With all his cute little Preschool buddies.

Apparently I didn't quite learn my lesson the last time I decorated a cake like this.
About 10 years ago...... when I wanted to slit my wrists before I was even half-way done.

Just like a pregnancy, I guess. You forget the pain & misery, and then one day you find yourself doing it again!!

I barely finished it in time!

Cursing myself.

And I don't think Gus really truly appreciated it.

Of course he loved his train cake...... but I think he would have been just as happy if I had stuck a couple plastic trains on a sheet cake.


It was a big day for this little guy.

Who's not so little anymore (sniff).

Happy Birthday Gus!
