Preston celebrated his 2nd birthday recently. We like to celebrate with family and have a nice meal followed by cake and ice cream. His birthday falls close to July 4th, so his celebration got tied in the with the wrap up of the 4th of July holiday weekend.
Both Gary and Dwain Plessinger and families were in attendance. We had leftovers from the camp out. Preston was napping while the eating was going on, but woke up in time to get some of his birthday dinner.
I insisted on decorating a cake a little more than just a 9 X 13 with frosting. I feel this is my duty as mom to make a fun cake. I decided on a round cake decorated like a baseball, since Preston likes balls. I had found a recipe for a white buttermilk cake and wanted to try it. I put raspberry jam between the layers and a combination of buttercream and white frosting with almond flavoring. The cake was delicious and was a big hit with the crowd.
We got to also have home made ice cream this time around. What a treat!
Some things about Preston.
He is a laid back guy.
He likes to be included in what his big brother is doing.
He still likes Mom or Dad to pick him up and carry him and he weighs 28 pounds, all solid too.
He has a hearty appetite, although is more of a meat and rice guy than fresh vegetables or fruit.
He likes to have shoes on all the time.
He is a quiet guy.
He loves to play in the sand box and with cars and trucks.
Happy Birthday Preston! We love you and can't believe how fast the time has passed since you entered our family 2 years ago.
