We want the cakeman!

On Saturday Eens was invited to his dear friend from Denmark's birthday party! He was so excited to go and I was looking forward to a nice afternoon chatting with the other moms!! His friend had invited the entire preK (guess who gets to do the same in a few weeks!!) so there were a lot of little ones there!!
I caught Eens actually eating and enjoying a cucumber (a year ago he wouldn't touch a vegetable!)
They ate some lunch and then they played inside and out for almost 3 hours! The highlight of the party came when the "cakeman" was brought out. The "cakeman" is a tradition in Denmark for birthdays. It is basically pastry shaped like a person and then decorated with candy! The whole tradition is very endearing, but our friends also included an interesting twist...when the mom cuts the "cakeman's" throat, all the kids scream!! A little morbid, but quite memorable!
