The Elmo Cake

It’s another birthday week here at our house. I’m super excited to be celebrating Ezra’s one year birthday on Thursday. We are going to just have cake and ice cream for Ezra. The Elmo Files- is the appropriate title for this post because for birthdays 1-3 Elmo is almost always present. We went by Sam’s today and ordered his little cake. There was a sample Elmo cake with the cupcakes around it on the shelves for sale. I showed it to him and the smile was just priceless. I knew that was his cake. Elmo cake it is.

Both of my children have been huge fans of Sesame Street and Elmo ofcourse. I don’t know what the attraction is for babies and Elmo but Sesame Street knew what they were doing when they decided to market Elmo for babies.

Here’s a fun fact- Elmo and I share a birthday! Yes we do! I love it. Our birthday is Feb 3rd. Although Elmo never ages.. he will forever be 3 years old. Ah to be young forever, right? LOL It works for him.

Last year I happened to participate in a Twitter/Birthday party for Elmo and won a walker for Ezra. This began the love for Elmo.

At 5 months he knew Elmo was his buddy. 

Will have to post pics of the cake and the sugary birthday boy after Thursday.

Who’s your favorite Sesame Street character? Have you seen the documentary on Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo? I need to watch it- although I fear I’ll just cry thru it because I just think Elmo is so stinking cute. Emotional? Just a tad. I actually saw his interview with Oprah- yes I cried. He’s phenomenal.  Which character do your children love? I know- I had to ask.
