Two weeks of non stop rain couln't stop us from planning the party of the millenium - Scott's Promotion to Master Sergeant!!! The days leading up promised to be wet and dreary but Saturday morning, there was no rain! Thank You Lord!!! We hurried to get the tent set up - the sun almost made an appearance, we went for ice...and the cake...still clear. We got everything set up and in place, cars strategically arranged so that there would be maximum parking available...guest arrived...guest had fun...guest ate and made merry...it started getting dark...then the rain moved in. But it wasn't a torential downpour - just a drizzle. No one needed umbrellas :) It was a great party and we are so proud of Scott for making it! We had lots of peeps come by and a great time was had by all.
The cake deserves a special commentary of its own. I had it done by a very nice and much talented military spouse, she helped me find the perfect design (she has hundreds of cake pans) It was a castle cake with 6 towers,strawberry on one side, lemon on the other and chocolate as the main body. The moat door was made to look like Master Sergeant stripes and there were A-10s and F-16s flying all around. It was the biggest cake we'd ever seen - took two people to carry it in. But it's the first cake I've ever had made just for Scott - his birthday falls just two days after Cody's we are usually all caked out by the time his day comes so I wanted to make it up to him for all the years he didn't have cake.
