I managed to find Hannah an awesome cake it had a bunch of different colors and butterflies and it was the perfect size for her to smash (the bigger cake was similar to hers just not as colorful)

She was placed in a high chair and was really not happy. Jake and I sat to either side while my mom brought over the cake.

"Happy birthday to you," everyone started singing. Hannah was fussy still mainly because she wanted to move around and not be held or stuck in a chair.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Hannah," my mom put the cake down right in front of us Hannah stopped whining and looked really confused.

"Happy birthday to you." The room went silent and everyone was looking, waiting to see what Hannah would do.

She is still really confused with everyone watching. She keeps looking at Jake and I for some direction. Jake went and took his finger and put it in the cake and put it in Hannahs mouth. She smiled and said, "YUMM."

Within a split second she reaches and grabs a big handful of cake and starts to eat it. When she is done with just the first handful she is covered in frosting and she goes in for another handful and feeds it to Jake. "YUMM. Now give some to mama."

I love Jake I do but he knows I hate messes like this. Hannah grabs another handful and offers it to me. I hesitate because I do not want to be coated in cake and slobber. I let her put in my mouth and end up covered in frosting. Hannah giggled and Jake smiled these to being happy is all that I care about because happiness goes a lot further than anger or sadness.

She alternated between feeding herself, Jake, and I before she started to cry. She was ready to get down.

In a way I was hoping that she would not touch the cake like most of my nieces and nephews but I knew that it was not going to be like that because she is Jakes child. He is the king of the adult children.

We both wiped her down as the cake for everyone was being served. She really was not happy about this.

"Hannah we just need to clean up then you get to open presents."

"Come on be a good girl."

"No." She screamed.

We continued the battle as everyone was consumed in eating their cake. It took longer than it should have because she really did not want to cooperate.

After ten minutes and numerous napkins and wet wipes she was clean. Well at least her face.

I let Jake take her into the bathroom for a diaper change and changing clothes because in the process of clean up she may have had a slight explosion not a bad one by any means but one happened.

Jake is a pro and had that done within minutes, they came out, "time for presents." Honestly it is easier to go to peoples party's than it is to throw one especially one for a child.
