One year old!

I can't believe my baby is one year old! Time flies by, and now that she can walk, she really doesn't seem like a baby anymore. We had a little birthday celebration for Jayci and my sister-in-law, Breanne, the Sunday before Jayci's birthday, and then we had a little party at our house the Sunday after with Chad's family. I decided to try my hand at a cake, a really easy cake. I didn't buy any of the candies and misc. that was supposed to go on the top, so I kind of improvised, but it turned out kind of cute. I forgot to save some white frosting, so I used powdered sugar instead, which made it difficult to put anything on top of it because it wouldn't stick. And the eyes are olives, which she actually really enjoyed. It was fun to watch her dig into her cake. She mostly just ate a bunch of the frosting and left the cake in a big crumbly mess. She had no interest in opening presents, so I just opened them for her, but it was still fun!

my first attempt at a birthday cake - a little sad, I know!

"Happy Birthday to You!"

Jayci, starting in on the goods. She sure enjoyed the frosting.

This is what was left in the end.
