Birthday Bonanza Part Two

After naps, we headed to St. Paul for Miss Elena Larson's first birthday party! Two parties in one day...both had cake...the girls were in heaven! The party started at 4 and when we got there Jake was so excited he could barely contain himself! The kids all went straight to the basement to get playing with the toys. After dinner, which included Uncle Brian's very impressive homemade sausage, we did the present thing and then cake.

Abby took her job of handing out spoons very seriously. At some point, Jake's cousin Lucas attempted to get a spoon from Abby. Unfortunately for him, he didn't have a piece of cake in his hand, so he didn't get a spoon!
