The Cupcake Party

Chloe turned 1 last Saturday, February 21st. We had a small party where everyone got to decorate their own cupcake. Well, except for Chloe; she just got to eat hers.
Make a wish!
Chloe wasn't sure what to do at first.

We had to help her with the first bite.
But then she took it from there.



Parker couldn't resist Ginger's scrumptious looking cupcake.


Time to open presents.


What a fun birthday! Thanks, everyone, for celebrating with us!

Two Loves: Chocolate and Books

Last week Amanda told me about a "Valentine's Cupcake and Sweet Treat" photo contest online, where you could win a $500 Williams-Sonoma gift card. Well, I was all over that possibility, and knowing that I had until midnight on the 16th to submit my entry (so the rules stated), I went to work. Then bright and early on Monday morning (the 16th) when I went to submit my picture, I found that they had already closed the entry period. Those darn Disney people! So, no $500 Williams-Sonoma gift card for me. But this is what I came up with: a "Library of Love" made out of chocolate. By the way, I just devoured "Romeo and Juliet" and "Wives and Daughters." Mmm...

Our Little Manimal

The latest fashion from Korea for cold weather. And oh so cute! Apparently, adults can be found wearing these furry friends, too. Yikes! Thanks Grammy and Papa!

You Have an Apple on Your Shoulder

Here's a kind of long video of Chloe with a piece of apple perched on her shoulder next to her neck. She must have tucked it in there for safe keeping.
