Zombie Cake

My youngest son, Dillan, turned two years old today.
Heh, it seems like just yesterday that we found out we'd be having another child. It's been amazing to watch him grow, and to see how he and his older brother Cameron can be so similar and different all at the same time. I just can't believe it's been two years already.
We just had cake and opened some gifts this evening. We're heading up to DC for more festivities this weekend.
I set up our little point-n-shoot camera to take time-lapse video while I was making Cameron's R2D2 birthday cake.
Everyone that saw the cake told me how awesome the cake was, or how they really liked it, but mostly people were interested in how I did it. That led me to take the time-lapse footage and throw together this little video.
Enjoy.
Dillan's birthday was last Tuesday, so we had a bunch of family and friends over to celebrate this weekend. I think everyone had a pretty good time.
We had a bunch of food, like crab dip, bacon-wrapped scallops, BBQ meatballs, pigs in a blanket, and a veggie tray. I mixed up some punch with blueberry vodka, sour mix, and sprite with frozen mixed berries. Chris and Kim were nice enough to bring over some devilled eggs and a variety of beers. Oh, and I made Dillan a pickle cake. For those that don't know, my Dad gave Dillan the nickname "Dillan Pickles" and it just kind of stuck. So now he's often referred to as Pickle or Pickles. Cameron had a few friends over from the neighborhood and his school. They all played upstairs in the playroom. Family showed up from all over, like my Mom from Vegas, Amy's Dad from West Virginia, and more of her family from NoVa. By the end of the day I think nearly 30 people had shown up. Dillan ended up with a pile of gifts, all of which I'm sure he'll enjoy. Thanks everybody! Thanks to Regina, Kim, and my Mom for all the help. Also, thanks to everyone else for showing up and having a good time with us.
I have many loves: my boys, my wife, my dogs, my mac, the internet, cars, gadgets, and most recently, my house.
