Early Birthday Shindig

With Brennan's birthday being two days after Christmas, it makes it a little difficult to plan some sort of party for him (especially when it seems like Christmas and his birthday sneaked up on us, like it did this year). So we celebrated a little early at a playgroup gathering this morning.

Brennan has a stuffed monkey that he absolutely loves, so it seemed like a monkey-themed cake would be a perfect option for him. Boy, was he excited when he found out that Mama was making monkey cupcakes for him! I was pretty proud of how they turned out, especially since this was my first time doing anything of this magnitude!


The shyness came out when we all sang "happy birthday" to him, but he loved to finally get to eat one of his monkey cupcakes. It was definitely fun to get to share this early 3rd birthday celebration with friends!


I've also been working with Brennan on telling us how old he will be on his birthday. Yesterday, he consistently answered "16". Today, his answer is "2". Soon we'll get the real answer squared away!
