Chase LOVES Legos! He wakes up every morning thinking about what he wants to build, or what needs to be fixed. He goes to bed at night talking about what he made and planning what he will make tomorrow. And, he is good at it! I am always so impressed to watch him build these amazing cars and trucks- pretty amazing for a 4 year old.
So, for Chase’s 4th birthday Chris made Chase his own Lego Birthday Cake! It looked really cool, but, it tasted even better! This is the best chocolate cake EVER! So rich, dense and moist! Perfect! He found it on the Hershey website, I know, too obvious!
