Sunday we had church in the morning, which is always a little rough for Finn. After we got home, we all had lunch and then Reid and Finn went to take a nap. That left me and Kai 2 hours to decorate the house and the cupcakes. Kai was a good taste-tester and was so well-behaved that he certainly deserved every lick he got. We made monster cupcakes for Finn, from the What's New, Cupcake? book. They turned out to be very simple, just a bit more time-consuming than I had thought. But I think they look pretty good.
As soon as naps were over, we sang and had cupcakes. We even had Reid's sister, Kristi, her family, and Papa on the webcam for the singing. Finn loved his cupcake and just demolished it. He's such a different kid from his brother! Both boys especially loved the dum-dum eyes.
After cupcakes, we opened presents. Finn received a glow worm from his grandma, a book from his great-grandma, bath toys from Kai, and a Fisher Price Animal Farm from us. We also got him a Leap Frog Musical Table, but that didn't arrive until Tuesday. Finn really seemed to get the concept of presents and was so excited to see his new toys. He loved playing with them and being the center of attention. I think he had a great birthday! (Sorry there are so many pictures. They were just all too cute to pass up!)
