Xavier Turns Two
Greetings to everyone and Happy Birthday, Xavier!
Ever wonder where Minions come from? They are made out of, interestingly, Twinkies. Who knew?
It took several days to assemble these Minions. First came baking the cupcake pants, and frosting them. Then the creation of Minion bodies. In the end, a Minion army for Xavier to command.
These are Xavier's birthday cakes this year. You can see the very satisfied "Gru" grinning over her handiwork in the lab in preparation for Xavier's party this Saturday.
Xavier's "big gift" this year was a tricycle. You can see from his expression how excited he was to get it! It's got locking rear wheels, parental steering control, foot rest, cup holder and canopy. After a few test drives around the room, we decided to ditch the cup holder railing and canopy.
Wednesday was a busy day for us all, so little time to celebrate. Saturday is coming, and that's "the big day" for celebrating. We let Xavier have this toy ahead of time.
