Cake!

Instead of buying cake, Mommy made a couple of cakes for Lauren's birthday. One is supposed to be Biscuit and was chocolate....I thought it looked bad but the photo makes it look worse than I thought it did! Then obviously the 1 is for her First Birthday and was vanilla. And no we didn't make the healthy version!

First she just grabbed the piece. She looked at me for approval and when she saw the camera she new she was golden!

Then she showed it to all of her party goers.

Lauren ever so politely took a piece off of the larger piece and ate it.

Then she shoved the bigger piece in her mouth.

We really weren't fond of the icing....but rather wanted the plain cake part.

Asking Papa if he wants some cake too.

How about you over there???

Oooooohhhhhhhhh.....feeling the effects of a sugar high!

Licking her plate clean....even though there was still cake to be had.

Biscuit waited patiently....occasionally asked for scraps.....

And then it happened.....Lauren shared!

This is mommy's favorite picture. I had bought her this first birthday onesie. I couldn't pass it up off the sale rack. And of course she hammed it up!

Gram Gram (great grandma) bought her a trike for her first birthday. Daddy was a real sport after being up since 3 a.m. starting the pork. He stayed up and made sure all of the toys were put together for Lauren. It's a real metal Radio Flyer, but is obviously a bit big yet. Don't worry....she'll figure it out, we are already trying!
