it ended up raining so we didn't do anything outdoorsy for the birthday. i knew the girls were going to bake cupcakes but i didn't know that i would look into the kitchen and have my heart melt. look at them in their aprons! cutest thing ever!!! looove how els listened to kira.. love how kira was so patient.. love that it took forever because of a. the toddler, b. kira is a perfectionist. :)
i couldn't just let them sit there with their sprinkles! they were so naked. needing some embellishments :)
she ate way too many cupcakes. i mean, way too much frosting. she ditched the cake part once the frosting was off.
while baking, elsie got a haircut.
:)
while this is the mega post, i guess i will add my 2peas layouts for the month too :) the theme is favorites. i could do this theme forever! you have to read the journaling to get this one:
first, that pic of the two girls are TO DIE FOR! Love all the sweetness happening in that photo!
LOVE the embellishments on the cupcakes! SOOOOOOOOO cute!
And, the layouts.....OHMYGOSH. Take my breath away! Great work, as usual! :)
