The Destroying of the Cake

"Tradition!!! Tradition. Tradition!!" Like Tevya's family we also have many traditions when it comes birthdays, holidays, etc. My family always did Mickey Mouse pancakes for breakfast (check. Cami loved them!) and, for a first birthday, the baby gets to utterly destroy and eat the cake. Cami loves "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" so we got this little cake and put the Mickey Mouse sugar sticker on it. We had a birthday party with the Bryner family side on Saturday (pictures to come!) and on Monday night, Cami's actual birthday, we let her rip into the cake. Here's the reel:

 Getting off to a good start. Fingers into the frosting.
 Starting to think, "where have you been all my life, sweet sugar?"
 Can't seem to reach that yellow, sugary dot on her chin!
 Setting a steady pace..
 (at this point I cut out the back edge for Bryan and I to have some too, so she really didn't eat the Whole thing :)
 Oh, so NOW she uses a fork!!
 Drinking down some water to slow down the sugar jitters
 A job well done!!

I had that same tradition growing up...it's the best way to introduce the goodness of sugar! Cute photos and Cami did a fantastic destroying job.
