January Birthdays!

We've got two in January and two in July. Funny how things happen sometimes.

First is Jocelyn's birthday on Jan. 6th. Here she is with her big sisters who had a great time decorating the cake for her.

I was trying to give her a bite of her cake here-I think she wanted me to put the whole thing in-look at the size of that mouth. That comes from Aaron. As a matter of fact we played 'chubby bunny' with his family during christmas and I think his final number of marshmallows was 27!

Second comes Makell's birthday on the 19th of January. She was so excited to finally have boy barbies. "Now there can be daddies" she said.  She loves to go in her room and play by herself with the dollhouse Aaron made for them. She'll be in there for hours. Sometimes I think she must have fallen asleep so I'll go check-but she's awake and just playing with those dolls.

Now here's a sad story. Aaron made this awesome birthday cake for Makell-then he made the frosting. It was so runny that it soaked into the cake. I attempted to peel the layers apart to cut it and make it into a cute little cat shaped cake but it was stuck together. So I drizzled the rest of the frosting on top as best as I could making a cat face. It was pathetic. I gave Makell the first big piece and here's the kicker-she wouldn't eat all of it. What kid doesn't devour cake and then ask for more? Well, I guess presentation really is that important-even for a four-year-old.
