Birthday Party (part 2) ~ mmm... time for cake and presents!



Instead of one birthday cake, I made Smiley two different kinds of cupcakes ~ carrot cupcakes and banana cupcakes ~ both with fluffy cream cheese frosting. YUMMY!

I made personalized little toppers for each cupcake by using a large decorative circle punch to cut out her picture. Then another circle punch just a little bit bigger than the first one to cut out a piece of card stock. I glued them together, glued the final product to a small bamboo fork and stuck them into the cupcakes. Very easy and pretty darn cute if you ask me. I think she liked it too!














Ready Princess? DIG IN!




Ugh...
Feeling a little full.




Time to open a few presents.
Smiley never really got into opening her gifts ~ although these pictures say otherwise:





Overall, I think she had a good FIRST Birthday!

Happy Birthday Smiley ~ We love you LOTS and wish you MANY more!
