Nemo Birthday Party!

Last Saturday we celebrated all 3 of the boys' birthdays with a party at one of their favorite places, Sport Bounce!  They have been asking if we could have their party there and talking about what kind of cake they want for a long time!  In case you didn't know, the cake is very important to 3 and 4 year olds - theme, shape, color, flavor...every aspect of it!  And I have to say, their cake this year was awesome!!  After much debate, we all agreed on a Nemo cake.  They wanted all different types of characters on their cake - Owen wanted a Lightning McQueen, Oliver wanted a fire truck, and Spencer wanted a Percy Train and a "Meow Meow".  Hmm, that would have been one strange looking cake.  But since they are crazy about Nemo, and play with their "Little Squeakies" everyday, they cycled through many different character requests and came full circle back to their favorite, Nemo.  It was a pretty tall cake - top half was vanilla and the bottom was chocolate.  I found the idea for the shape on Pinterest and a bakery that could easily replicate the picture, and the boys just lit up when they saw it!  You better believe I took a ton of pictures of that cake.  Heck - I was way more excited about the Nemo cake than my wedding cake (how's that for things you never imagine yourself saying)!  The boys had a blast bouncing with their preschool and neighborhood friends, followed by pictures on the "big red inflatable" chair, and finally pizza and the delicious cake!  I lost count of how many servings of cake Oliver had; and the party assistant commented on how adults were going back for seconds, something they rarely see!  What a fun day!!
