I was a little daunted this year with the party preparations and wasn't sure I was up to it, but James convinced me it was worth it and he was right! And I had a TON of fun learning to bake an amazing cake! Now I have several new things on my kitchen wish list. :)

It's fun to decorate at this park because it is a popular spot for people who want to walk for exercise so we get lots of interesting looks and comments as we wait for everyone to arrive. Sometimes we even get fellow middle-earth fans.

I love having a pinata! Some year, we're going to have a kid pinata and an adult pinata! I need ideas on what to stock the adult pinata with...

| Pinata Smaug that must be slain |
This cake was almost eaten multiple times before its actual execution date. I think it's a compliment to how tasty it appeared. By the time we ate it, it had several different toddler-sized finger marks. :) Or we could say that we had several toddler-sized taste testers at our party.

We loved having so many people show up to socialize with us! Thanks everyone!

| Party! |
This was hilarious this year! The kids did a great job, but they definitely didn't agree with me on which tree was the largest tree in the park. Haha! Oh well.

We're looking forward to this again this year! (I have new cake skills I'm excited to strengthen!)
