Cake and Rootbeer!

Sara and MaryKate helped with decorating the cakes... okay, they helped by licking the spoons... but hey, I couldn't have done it without them.

The before of the Elmo cakes, (in the mist of root beer), I made two exactly the same, one for Sara to destroy, and another for us to enjoy...

During the eating frenzy... MaryKate showing the balloons that served as decorations AND party favors, each kid that came got to go home with a balloon!

And here is the AFTER of poor Elmo, she started at his nose and worked her way out.

Kevin somehow persuaded customer service at Fry's to actually OPEN the dry ice container instead of giving him their usual "we're out" answer so we got to enjoy his specialty, homemade root beer!
