Herbie Party: Part One.

September 17th, 2009

You have to start with the cake–when you have a cake that looks like this, you always start telling about the party by telling about the cake.   It is of course by Stacey, maker of the famous Pokey Little Puppy cake, and swimming duckies the year before.  This year it was Herbie.  If you have been reading this site for long at all you know that Herbie is king around here, and nothing less than a Volkswagen car show starring Herbie would do for The Son’s third birthday.

There are so many details I love, and the ONLY one I came up with is to have Herbie be the number THREE car instead of FIFTY-THREE.

How cute is the bumper?   I hated to even put candles in it, much less eat it.

Can you see the side mirrors? LOVE THEM.

Last year he needed help to blow out the candles.  Not this year!

Oh NO! It is…wait for it….HERBICIDE!!! You can thank my Dad for that one.  Now you know where my sense of humor comes from.  The Corn does not fall far from the stalk.

In case you were wondering, it was chocolate and it tasted as good as it looked.   Yum.  Every single crumb was eaten.

    Actually…the term “herbicide” came from your darling brother JHJ.

    Dad can claim that one if he wants it. I’m not proud.

    And in all honesty, you both can probably thank your dad for that sense of humor! :)
