on cossette's actual bday we added our first purple footprint to the birthday tablecloth, sang, & shared a single slice of carrot cake. they were thrilled.
a week later we had dinner with friends, had a fun little hungry caterpillar party, opened presents & ate caterpillar cupcakes with their favorite aunt stephanie, & face timed with the families. they were thrilled.
can you handle these eric carle the very hungry caterpillar dresses that gramvi made?? they are DARLING dresses with an embroidered caterpillar & the different foods the caterpillar eats through. :)
i take credit for finding the butterfly robeez that are designed after the book. & for that face. i take credit for that face. (even if it looks an awful lot like austin should be taking the credit...)
my kiddles have the
ultimate in aunts & uncles. seriously though. & they are IN LOVE with aunt steph!
my funny caterpillar cupcakes i modeled after
coco cake cupcakes. appropriate isn't it? i tried a new icing recipe that called for heavy cream. can't go wrong there. i made 2 tone green frosting & cut his facial features out of candy melts. his feet & antennae are just construction paper. it was a hit.
but not as much as cossette's new baby doll. the thing looks like a mini me of her with darker hair, bright green eyes, & chubby cheeks. austin was convinced i got it for myself as i was a little obsessed. it is just too adorable! so it was my favorite part of her birthday to see how excited she was, squealing & cooing at it. :)
happy 1st birthday baby bean! we love you!

YES! Hahaha I have been waiting for this post! Everything is adorable, those dresses oh my and your cupcakes and her face (you should definitely take credit) and and everything! So fun, I think jack is sad he wasn't there. that is his favorite book. Happy birthday littlest bean! Auntie kewwi has a pwesent for you but you have to come see me to get it.
That last picture is priceless. So attentive as she looks at the baby doll.
My other favorite pix is in the top left corner of one of the collages. Steph and Katz are just going to take huge bites and Cossette is not looking at the camera at all, but instead staring at the 2 strange adults standing next to her.
