First, let me just brag…I was up until 2am working on this cake. I was really proud of the results (for a first ever attempt at anything creative). 
As for the rest of the party…If you want the fast version, I’ve posted a couple of actual pictures. If you want to take a little longer, you can watch the whole slide show. As you can tell, he’s just a little dude. But he sure thinks he is big. He is trying to walk, into everything, and talking none stop (if only we had a translator). What a cute kid! I cannot imagine my life without this one-year-old. He has taught me so many things in such a short time, and he has even helped me to love his daddy EVEN more than I already did. What a gift it is to be a parent! This last year has definitely come with its obstibles, we are learning to rely on the Lord in a whole new way and some days are just play TOUGH. I wouldn’t dare trade away one of them, though, because I would, no doubt, miss out on some slobbery kisses, snuggly hugs, a few good laughs and more joy than my heart can hold. We love you, KJ! Happy late birthday!!
I am glad that KJ’s party gave me some time with family. I really missed my brother, though.
We were so thankful that RRL’s sister and her family could join us from Central America. What a treat to spend time together!
Red icing was a FANTASTIC idea… It sure was cute though! Goodnight,
How in the world did you make that cake? Soo cute. Wish we could have been there to help celebrate (AKA: eat the cake.)
Love you guys!
Allison, your cake is giving me an inferiority complex. What on earth! I am in awe. I could barely pull off balloon cupcakes for Casen’s b-day. Sweet boy, fun day. We need to hang out soon.
That photo of your “little conductor” is too cute. It looks like you had a lot of fun celebrating his big day. Give that kid a squeeze for me!
Allison- I knew you were multi-talented…but that cake is unbelievable! What a great day!
May this next year be the best one yet! Love you-
BJB
