Birthday Festivities...

Zoey had quite the busy day on her Birthday---she woke up to her Mom and Dad's beautiful singing voices singing "Happy Birthday" to her. She got to start off the morning by opening her gifts. The first thing she got was a Happy Birthday Balloon from Addison....I dont know who was more excited about it being Zoey's Birthday--- Addison or Zoey?? Anyways, Zoey was very fascinated with the balloon:

Here are her gifts before they got opened (by Addison):

We first gave Zoey her presents but she just sat and stared at them not knowing what to do....so Addison took over with the gift opening to help her little sister out:

Pretty much all her gifts consisted of Lights and Music---cant go wrong with that for a 1 year old!!

That afternoon we had our friends, the Begnaud's, over for some homemade pizza and of course the fabulous cake I made! I hate to brag, but the cake I made for Zoey turned out AWESOME!! I was quite proud of my work. YES, I did use a Mickey Mouse Pan, but I transformed Mickey into Minnie Mouse all on my own, made all the frosting colors myself, and piped the entire thing! Lets just say that I really do have a whole new respect for cake decorators. I was very proud of the way my Minnie Mouse cake turned out and learned that I apparently have a new talent and maybe a future hobby??!! I dont know, but here is proof of my awesome work:

And I saved the BEST pictures for last---the eating of the cake!! Doesnt that black frosting look delicious!!! MmmmMMmm it really was good and NO, it did not stain our teeth or anything else, thank goodness!!

As you can tell, she really enjoyed eating her cake...Glad you had a good Birthday, Zoey!! We love you!! Until next year!!.....
