Desi is ONE!

I just love Miss Desiree and she turned ONE yesterday, January 11th. I can't believe this little lady is already a year old - this past year has really flown by. Before I know it, her and Dylan are going to be walking to school together.

For Desi's first birthday, I tried my hand at cake-baking. Her mama, Melissa (our neighbor and a good friend of mine) said she really liked the colors pink and brown and that they loved reading her Eric Carle's The Very Lonely Firefly. So, I decided to take those ideas and make her a special birthday present.

To say the least - it was quite an experience! Especially when our electricity went out for 2 hours mid-process. I got it done though and it turned out "OK." Everyone at the party had a piece and the majority said it tasted good (and my Matt really liked it!). Des even got her own mini cake to tear up, but she was very polite and mess-free.

Happy Birthday Desiree!!!

P.S. There was an "A" in Birthday until Melissa tasted it... haha! I really can spell.
